On Saturday afternoon, they travel to Sinsheim to compete against Hoffenheim, who are currently struggling to find their footing in the league. Hoffenheim surprised Borussia Dortmund by holding them to a 1-1 draw away at Signal-Iduna-Park against them. In the final minute of stoppage time, Jacob Bruun Larsen scored the late equalizer, which silenced the crowd at one of the most difficult strongholds in the country to take over.
Through the first half of the season, Hoffenheim has, on the whole, enjoyed a campaign that has been less than satisfactory. The first 14 games of the season resulted in only three victories for them. Hoffenheim's primary issue has been that they have not been as careful in their defensive play. So far in the season, the squad has conceded a total of 26 goals.
