Counter-attacking Hertha

It will be a meeting of two direct rivals on Tuesday (20:30 CET/Live Ticker at tsg-hoffenheim.de) when 13th-placed Hertha Berlin and 14th-placed TSG Hoffenheim go head to head in the Bundesliga. Prior to #BSCTSG, tsg-hoffenheim.de has all the important facts and figures you need to know below.

Did you know that…

…TSG are unbeaten in four matches at the Olympiastadion?

Hoffenheim have picked up two wins and two draws on their most recent visits to Hertha BSC. The last defeat away to the capital club came back on 22 November 2015.

…Hertha have recently been in fine home form?

Despite their recent string of excellent results in their away games against Hertha, TSG should be wary of their hosts. Bruno Labbadia's charges have taken seven points out of a possible nine from their last three matches on home turf and have kept two consecutive clean sheets at the Olympiastadion.

…the last meeting was a special occasion?

Football fans won't forget 16 May 2020 in a hurry – that Saturday was the day that the Bundesliga finally made its comeback after a break of more than two months due to the coronavirus. TSG lost 3-0 to Hertha BSC at the Pre-Zero Arena that day. They will be hoping to exact revenge on Tuesday.

…the men from Berlin especially excel on the counter-attack?

Watch out for the counter-attacks: Hertha have scored three goals on the counter to date, making them one of the most dangerous clubs in this category. They are defensively strong in this respect too, having not yet conceded a single goal on the counter this season.
