The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is listed.

Hoffenheim

The Germans have only managed one victory in the current Europa League, which they achieved in the second round against Dynamo Kyiv (2-0). Since then, they have not won: drawing at home with Lyon (2-2) and FCSB (0-0), and losing away to Porto (0-2) and Sporting (0-3). Christian Ilzer's side is currently 26th in the standings. If Hoffenheim drops points in the upcoming match, their chances of advancing to the playoffs will be minimal.

• The club has secured only one victory in their last eight Europa League matches (4 draws and 3 losses).
• At least one team failed to score in 4 of Hoffenheim's last 5 matches in this tournament.
• No more than three goals have been scored in 6 of the last 7 matches of the Germans in this European competition.

Tottenham

The English side started the group stage excellently, winning three consecutive matches. However, the next three Europa League games were less successful: the Londoners lost to Galatasaray (2-3) and drew with Roma (2-2) and Rangers (1-1). Nevertheless, the team is in a high ninth position. If the club wins this round, they will secure their place in the playoffs.

• No more than three goals have been scored in regular time in 6 of Tottenham's last 8 Europa League matches.
• The club has not lost in regular time in 12 of their last 14 matches in this tournament (9 wins and 3 draws).
• Both teams scored in regular time in 6 of Tottenham's last 7 away games in this European competition.

Hoffenheim vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction

The hosts of the upcoming match have been underwhelming this season. In the Europa League, they only managed to defeat the underdog Dynamo Kyiv, while in the Bundesliga, they are near the bottom of the standings. Additionally, in their last 10 official matches, the Germans have only won once, defeating Holstein Kiel in the league.

Tottenham has also been unremarkable in the English Premier League but still has a chance to compete for a European spot. The team is also impressive in terms of scoring. I am confident that the attacking potential of the visitors will be evident in Germany. It is also worth noting the motivation of the English side: if they win the remaining two matches, they will likely finish in the top eight and advance directly to the Europa League round of 16. The Germans, who have not won in their last four official home matches (2 draws and 2 losses), will find it challenging to compete with such an opponent.

My prediction – Tottenham with a handicap (0)
