The starting line-ups for each team are listed as they were in their last match in this tournament. Hoffenheim The team suffered their first defeat in the group stage (1 win, 1 draw), losing in the previous round to Porto with a score of 0-2. In the match against the Portuguese, Hoffenheim also failed to score for the first time in the current tournament. After 3 matches played, the German club is in the playoff zone of the Europa League table, occupying the 18th spot. The team has a goal difference of 0, with 3 goals scored and 3 conceded. - No more than 2 goals were scored in 6 of the last 8 Hoffenheim matches in the Europa League. - The club has not lost in 10 of the last 12 matches in Europe's second-tier competition (6 wins, 4 draws). - The team has scored at least twice in 4 of the last 5 home matches in the Europa League. Lyon After 2 wins at the start of the tournament, Lyon lost in the previous match to Besiktas with a score of 0-1, despite having a significant advantage during the game. It's worth noting that the team failed to score only for the second time in the last 17 Europa League matches. As a result of losing points in the previous round, Pierre Sagnol's charges dropped from 2nd to 10th place in the overall stage table. Nevertheless, Lyon is among the most prolific teams in the Europa League, having scored 6 times, with only 6 clubs scoring more. - Lyon has not lost in 11 of the previous 13 Europa League matches (8 wins, 3 draws). - Away from home in this tournament, the club has been even more successful, winning 7 of the last 8 matches (1 draw). - No more than 3 goals were scored in 8 of the last 11 away matches for Lyon in the Europa League. Hoffenheim vs Lyon: Match Prediction Both teams undeservedly lost in the previous round, especially Lyon, who significantly outperformed their opponent in terms of goal-scoring opportunities. Nevertheless, neither Hoffenheim nor Lyon managed to score. I do not think they will be so unlucky in the second consecutive Europa League match, considering that both clubs play attacking football and are not as successful in defense, so I expect an exciting and high-scoring match. Moreover, statistics suggest that the upcoming opponents should score. The German club has scored in 14 of the last 17 matches in Europe's second-tier competition. Lyon, in turn, has not left the field without scoring in 15 of the previous 17 matches in this tournament. Additionally, the teams met in the European arena in the 2018/19 season during the Champions League, and both encounters were high-scoring (3:3, 2:2). I expect a similar outcome in the upcoming match, so my prediction is: "Both teams to score – yes" at odds of 1.47. Author: Roman Sedov
