The home team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against FC Bayern München, by (1‑4). In the last match, they tied in an away match against SC Freiburg, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 35 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 32 conceded. Hoffenheim has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 5 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 5 matches for this competition.

Hoffenheim go into this clash on the back of a 1-1 draw away at Freiburg, with their only goal scored by Fisnik Asllani. The home side should line up in a 4-3-3 system, favouring quick transitions, mainly down the flanks. In this set-up, the three men responsible for unsettling the opposition defence are Alexander Prass, Bazoumana Touré and Fisnik Asllani. When pushing forward, the team tend to exploit the right flank, making use of the overlapping runs of full-back Vladimír Coufal.
