4th round of the German football Bundesliga. The "Red Devils" conceded with the 1:2 at FSV Mainz 05 the first season defeat. Now they faces on league leader 1899 Hoffenheim.
In the third round 1. FC Kaiserslautern conceded their first season defeat. The promoted team has lost the away game at FSV Mainz with 1:2. However, their season start was good. FC Kaiserslautern started with two wins in the first two rounds - 3:1 at 1. FC Köln and 2:0 at home against champion Bayern München.
1899 Hoffenheim started perfect in this season. The team of coach Ralf Rangnick has won their three league game so far. In the table they are league leader equal on points with FSV Mainz, but Hoffenheim has the better goal difference. Hoffenheim started with a 4:1 opener win over Werder Bremen. The next rounds brought a 1:0 at St. Pauli and a 2:0 home win against FC Schalke 04. New entrant Tom Starke conceded just one goal in these three matches.
