Hoffenheim vs Tottenham Prediction

Hoffenheim appointed Sturm Graz boss Christian Ilzer in November but it took until this weekend for them to earn their first win, whilst Ange Postecoglou is also under a lot of pressure.

Hoffenheim defeated fellow strugglers Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga at the weekend and their focus may well be on simply avoiding relegation in the German top-flight. They have managed just one win in their opening six UEFA Europa League matches as they sit outside of the top 24 ahead of the seventh match day of the campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur flattered themselves with two late goals in a 3-2 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League at the weekend. After winning their first three games in the UEFA Europa League, the north Londoners have since collected just two points with frustrating draws against Roma and Rangers as well as a defeat to Galatasaray.

Spurs have won just four of their last 18 matches inside 90 minutes across all competitions. Hoffenheim are in a genuine relegation battle in the Bundesliga as two underperformers face off this week. What is more predictable than a result is the likelihood of a high-scoring affair.

Hoffenheim vs Tottenham Tip: Over 2.5 goals
