TSG Hoffenheim will host Union Berlin in their second game of the Bundesliga and hope to continue their impressive start to the season.

Sebastian Hoeness’ side put in a commanding display against Augsburg in their opening game of the league and won 4-0 away from home.

Union Berlin will be a bigger test for Hoffenheim, as the capital club put in a dogged display against Bayer Leverkusen in their first game of the campaign.

Urs Fischer’s side took an early lead against Leverkusen, but were pegged back immediately by a wonderful Moussa Diaby goal. They held on for a draw.
