Hoffenheim vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting Tips (23 January)

Hoffenheim has still not managed to secure its spot among the top 24 in order to play a play-off in February. The fault lies in a glaring lack of victory in the competition since apart from the success gleaned against Dynamo kyiv 2-0, the Germans have never succeeded in imposing their law. From the opening, they were bothered by Midtjylland on the road 1-1, beaten by Porto 2-0, bothered by Lyon at home 2-2, severely called to order by Braga in Portugal 3-0, without forget their misstep against FCSB last time 0-0. In the Bundesliga, TSG is clearly broken down by not having won a single one of its last six matches and especially by recording a very poor record of three successive victories against Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-2, without scoring for the coming of Wolfsburg 0 -1, and without reaction on the pitch of Bayern Munich last week 5-0. Last weekend, Hoffe tried to put an end to this bad patch against Holstein Kiel away, who have just beaten Borussia Dortmund to follow. For their part, Tottenham, again and again disappoints in the Premier League and despite a recruitment of more than 60 million for Solanke, he does not seem to be ready to win his first PL trophy in its history.

On the other hand, the C3 must be a source of motivation for the Spurs who are 7th after 7 days with the same number of points as the 8th and last automatically qualified for the round of 16, the Glasgow Rangers. Rangers whom they met on the last day for a result which did not suit anyone 1-1 in Scotland. Note also a chance of coronation in the EFL Cup for Tottenham who took the upper hand over Liverpool during the semi-final first leg victory 1-0. In the PL, Harry Kane's former club lost in the London derby against the Gunners last week 2-1, thus recording a 5th day in a row without a victory in the Kingdom for a sad record of 4 defeats. Last weekend, Tottenham played an important match at Everton to get back on track.

Apart from midfielder Becker who returned to competition, all the players absent due to injury against FCSB during the previous day of C3 are still in the infirmary. Starting with the Togolese Bebou, the important Marius Bulter, the Austrian international midfielder Grillitsch, the former Schalke defender Kabak, the too often injured Lenz, without forgetting to mention Promel, and the German international hopeful Umut Tohumcu. As a bonus, against Bayern Munich last week, Malian midfielder Samassekou (crucial in recent weeks) was injured at the end of the first act and could be withdrawn this evening. The French Gendrey, Nsoki (ex-PSG/Nice), and Ntusu (substitute) will be available for their coach Christian Ilzer as will the major man, Kramaric (6 goals in the league) who has always set the sights in the League Europa. Tottenham are not spared from injuries either since the Frenchman Odobert, the important Ben Davies, the Argentinian world champion Romero, the midfielder Bentacur are on the flank like the Dutch international Van de Ven, and of the titular goalkeeper Vicario. Recently, it was Werner, Udogie and Forster (replacement goalkeeper but holder in the absence of Vicario) who joined the care.

.. We are still talking about a bunch of potentially starting players who are unavailable for the Australian coach Postecoglou. Author of 7 goals and 3 assists in the Premier League, Solanke missed an important penalty against the Gunners which could have allowed his team to take at least the point of the draw. Maddison (8 goals, 4 assists in PL) will be on the trip.

• Summary: TSG Hoffenheim is going head to head with Tottenham Hotspur starting on 23 Jan 2025 at 17:45 UTC at PreZero Arena stadium, Sinsheim city, Germany. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa League .
