Hoffenheim can match leaders RB Leipzig when it comes to avoiding defeat so far, but a run of three draws in a row – and seven overall so far – have seen them drop points and slip down to sixth in the table. Nadiem Amiri’s second-half equaliser preserved their enviable record to earn a point at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Matchday 12, but Julian Nagelsmann knows that a win could reignite their top-four challenge.

Moreover, the Billy Goats boast the joint-best defensive record in the Bundesliga this season, along with defending champions FC Bayern München.
