Hoffenheim won their last game, 5-0 versus Köln played at home. As mentioned above, Hoffenheim was the only team on the pitch versus Köln in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task. Ihlas Bebou, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.32. Bebou scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A 1-3 defeat away at Stuttgart before that.
