1899 Hoffenheim – Sturm Graz

Hoffenheim head into the clash with Sturm Graz desperate for points, sitting 13th in the table with just three after a solitary win and two defeats, their goal tally hovering at six for and seven against. The home side will be looking to turn the tide and climb out of the relegation zone, while Graz arrive with an unknown record this season, leaving the visitors with little to gauge their opponent’s form. The head‑to‑head between the two clubs has been sparse, making the encounter a fresh test for both. A positive result could see Hoffenheim inch closer to safety, whereas a slip would deepen their early‑season woes.
