Hoffenheim have hit the ground running with a six-game unbeaten streak in 2016/17, winning their last two, and a third in the derby would equal a club record. That is a far cry from last season's struggles, but those memories are still fresh and coach Julian Nagelsmann is ensuring his side do not get carried away as they prepare to host local rivals Freiburg. "We're enjoying it, but we know it's only temporary," he said. "We're just trying to keep things up."

Head to the Match Centre for more information.

Freiburg's return to the top flight has not started off so badly either, with three wins and three defeats putting nine points in the bank already. Those wins have come at home, however, while the losses have all been on the road, a fact they will be keen to remedy this weekend.
