In this Europa League fixture, TSG Hoffenheim host Olympique Lyonnais. Both teams have already played in this competition in the middle of the month, so this is a match where points must be collected to keep progressing in the cup. Hoffenheim return to play at home after losing two league games in a row before winning 2-1 in their latest match, but overall in their last five games they have still lost four and have conceded in every game. Lyon, meanwhile, are going well, on a winning run and having lost only once this season from seven matches, scoring 13 and conceding 5. The game is likely to be open from the start, because both sides have attacks that genuinely create chances, especially Hoffenheim, who hold more of the ball and have continuous attacking moments, but their leaky defence will open space for Lyon, who are sharper in counter-attacking situations. It will be worth watching how solid Hoffenheim can set up defensively from the beginning, because if they let Lyon have easy space in the middle, the game could flow towards the away team from the first half.
