DID YOU KNOW?

Hoffenheim have the leakiest defence in the entire Bundesliga having already conceded 38 goals this season, nine more than any other side in the league.

The side's fans have had little to cheer about at Rhein Neckar Arena of late with the team losing all of its last three home games.

The Sinsheim outfit has lost just twice in their last eight league games with BVB.

Borussia Dortmund are in danger of going four league games without a win on Sunday, something they haven't suffered since September 2009.

The German champions have already lost 3 matches this season, the same number they lost in their entire 2011/12 campaign.

Coach Jurgen Klopp suggested full-back Marcel Schmelzer (pictured, right) should have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace after the way he conducted himself after being wrongly dismissed in their 3-2 defeat to Wolfsburg last weekend.
