Both TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and FC Schalke 04 go into Sunday's clash at the WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena (kick-off 15:30CEST/13:30GMT) seeking their first wins of the campaign, but it is the Royal Blues who find themselves in a precarious predicament following four straight defeats.

So close to a first triumph last Tuesday, Julian Nagelsmann's team were dealt a blow when SV Darmstadt 98 scored an injury-time winner in the teams’ 1-1 draw. Still undefeated after four draws, the south-western side will be hoping to put their Sunday hoodoo behind them and inflict more misery on their wounded opponents.

Head to the Match Centre for more information.

Fresh from their Matchday 4 reverse at home to FC Köln, Schalke travel to the WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar Arena needing a kick-start to their so-far stuttering season. With an eye on halting his own poor run against Sunday's opponents, coach Markus Weinzierl will look to his team's sole goalscorer this term, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, to be decisive.
