- Competition: UEFA Europa League
- Date: 23rd January, 2025
- Kickoff: 18:45 CET
- Venue: PreZero Arena
Tottenham will be eager to make it into the top eight of the Europa League with a win at Hoffenheim on Thursday.
Things are not going particularly well for the visitors at the moment, as they lost 3-2 to Everton in the Premier League at the weekend, their second successive defeat in the league. Overall, they have won just two of their last eight games in all competitions and are struggling with major injury concerns.
The hosts come into this game on the back of a 3-1 away win over Kiel, which was their first win after three straight defeats in the Bundesliga.
Hoffenheim - Tottenham Betting Tips: Hoffenheim to Win or Draw (1X)
Neither team has been in the best of form recently. Tottenham have lost five of their last eight games in all competitions (2W 1D 5L), while Hoffenheim have won just once in their last seven games in all competitions (1W 3D 3L).
Nonetheless, the home side have proved a tough nut to crack so far in the Europa League at the PreZero Arena, remaining unbeaten on home turf after three games (1W 2D). The north Londoners have won just once away from home in three attempts in the Europa League, so a draw is at least a possibility for Hoffenheim in this game.
Hoffenheim team news
Hoffenheim have as many as nine players injured ahead of Thursday’s clash against Tottenham. The most obvious absentees are Anton Stach, Diadie Samassekou and Umut Tohumsu.
