#RBLTSG: First time facing Nagelsmann

Did you know that…

…TSG could set a record?

Should Hoffenheim win in Leipzig, it would be a fourth consecutive away victory for coach Alfred Schreuder's charges in the Bundesliga. TSG have never won so many consecutive games on the road in the German top flight before.

…Sebastian Rudy is suspended?

The midfielder picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Fortuna Düsseldorf and will be suspended for the clash with RB Leipzig. It will be the first minutes of Bundesliga action the 29-year-old has missed this term.

…TSG will be up against Julian Nagelsmann for the first time?

The coach left Hoffenheim to join RB Leipzig in the summer. Saturday's meeting will be the first time that Nagelsmann and TSG have faced each other since.

…Leipzig have the most prolific strike partnership in the division?

Timo Werner has been involved in a goal every 67 minutes in the Bundesliga this term, meaning the Germany international has the best average of any player in the league who has featured for at least 500 minutes. In joint second-place are his team-mate Christopher Nkunku and Robert Lewandowski, who have a goal/assist every 67 minutes. Andrej Kramarić is averaging a goal every 79 minutes – although the TSG forward is not (yet) included in the ranking because he has only played 314 minutes to date.
