How both teams go into Hoffenheim vs Tottenham

With two games left to play in the Europa League league phase, Tottenham are in a decent position. The north London club are ninth in the table, with 11 points from their opening six games. They’ve won three of their six matches, drawing two and losing one. It leaves them behind eighth-placed Rangers on goal difference. But Tottenham are in poor form in the Europa League, winless in their past three.

Tottenham may be confident going into this game, though, with Hoffenheim not doing too well in the Europa League. The German side have won just one of their six Europa League games so far, and sit one point outside the knockout play-off places. They need to climb the table or their European journey will be ending soon. Like Tottenham, they’re not in good form, winless in their past four.

Hoffenheim team news

Christopher Lenz, Florian Grillitsch, Umut Tohumcu, Grischa Promel, Marius Bulter, Max Moerstedt and Ihlas Bebou are all set to miss out.

Tottenham team news

Antonin Kinsky will be unable to feature in this game, with no squad changes allowed until after the completion of the league phase. Guglielmo Vicario remains injured, so Fraser Forster should start in goal. Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies may all be back for this one.
