TSG Hoffenheim host Beşiktaş in the Europa League, and this is not a fixture either side is especially familiar with, since the two teams come from different leagues and different countries, and their most recent meeting in this competition had only just finished, with a scoreline that said neither side was focused on shutting up shop. The hosts are in a spell where their defence has problems, having lost 3 in a row, and their last home game ended with them conceding as many as 3 goals, while Beşiktaş are going well, having won 4 of their last 5 and having just thrashed their opponents in this competition 4-1. The pattern of play for both is an attack that keeps creating chances; both teams had over half the possession in their last 10 games and both also managed more than five shots on target per game. If the game opens up into an exchange from the start, the first half is likely to be the period where the hosts get more looks, because TSG Hoffenheim often score late in the first half and often lead at the end of 45 minutes, while Beşiktaş tend to start slowly in the first half and then push hard late in the game. Overall it shapes up as a match where goals arrive steadily, and it should become more and more open after the break.
