TSG Hoffenheim - Eintracht Frankfurt
- Kick-off: Saturday (18 November 2017), 15.30 CET
- Venue: Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena, Sinsheim
Build-Up
The Eagles are keen to get a result in in Sinsheim on Saturday, so far they managed one Bundesliga away win against TSG (4-0 in September 2012, the biggest home defeat of Hoffenheim). Other than that the hosts won four - all by one goal only - and three times the fixture ended in a draw.
This could be another close call; the Eagles either won or lost all their games this season by one goal also (W5, L3). They are unbeaten in five games now and only Bayern collected more points on the road (13) than SGE (11).
Hoffenheim lost their last home match 3-1 against Mönchengladbach after a run of 22 unbeaten home games. Both TSG and SGE seem to like the final 15 minutes of the game, Hoffenheim scored the most goals in that period (6), Eintracht the second most (5).
Eintracht skipper David Abraham had a spell at Hoffenheim between 2013 and 2015 (46 Bundesliga games, 2 goals) while the son of Sporting Director Bruno Hübner - Benjamin - is now at TSG.

3,000 Eagles will make the fairly short trip to Sinsheim, Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena has a 30,150 capacity.
