Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Warming up
Marmoush magic
Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush scored in both of last season's fixtures against today's opponents. For Hoffenheim, their goalscorers in last season's meetings, John Anthony Brooks and Maximilian Beier, have both left the club since the final meeting between these two teams.
Doing the double
Last season, Frankfurt managed to do the double over Hoffenheim by beating them both home and away, and with the same scoreline (3-1) too! Hoffenheim will have an early chance to make sure that doesn't happen again this season.
