Christoph Baumgartner - Assists Saturday Baumgartner assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Monchengladbach.

Impact Baumgartner got on the scoresheet with an assist during Saturday's loss, though it's little consolation in the one-sided loss. Baumgartner is up to seven goal contributions in 18 appearances, and doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down in the second half. The midfielder is only two goal contributions away from his previous career-best.

Ihlas Bebou - Nets consolation goal Bebou scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 loss versus Monchengladbach.

Impact Bebou scored his second goal in two starts during Saturday's loss. The good news is the striker doesn't seem to have missed a step from his pre-injury excellence. The bad news is the Hoffenheim attack is deeply flawed and is a struggling environment even with Bebou in good form.

Ihlas Bebou - Questionable for Saturday Bebou (undisclosed) will be a game time decision for Saturday's clash against Borussia Monchengladbach, Hoffenheim announced Friday.

Impact Bebou has tallied a combined six shots (three on target) with one goal scored in Hoffenheim's first two games back from the winter break, his first appearances of the season after recovering from a knee injury.

Impact Baumann conceded two goals yet again Tuesday, and now has five straight matches conceding two or more goals. Over that stretch he has conceded 14 goals while making just 14 saves, a concerning percentage for the German keeper. It won't get easier for him either, as his next matchup is versus Borussia Monchengladbach Sunday, who have scored 30 goals in 16 matches this season.

It was his first start for the club since Oct. 7, and his first club goal since Oct. 2 at Hertha Berlin. He also created two chances in the draw and took just his second corner kick of the season. With Kramaric back in the starting XI, more goals are likely to come sooner rather than later.

Robert Skov - Brought off injured Skov was brought off during the first half of Tuesday's clash with Stuttgart with an apparent injury.

Impact Skov was struggling to carry on and was brought off with an issue. It's unclear how severe it was but Skov was unable to carry on and was replaced by Kevin Akpoguma. Skov's first chance to return is a Saturday clash with Gladbach.

Impact Baumann made two saves on five shots faced to come away with a one-sided loss to open the second half of the Bundesliga. The goalkeeper was given little help by his defense and simply couldn't shut down a rampant attack. Baumann will hope to bounce back in a big way as he looks to build on four clean sheets in the first half of the Bundesliga.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Skov - Assists in opener Skov assisted once to go with four shots (three on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Union Berlin.
