Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Porto vs Hoffenheim

Porto 

The Dragons started the new Europa League campaign with a defeat and a draw: first, the team sensationally lost to Bodo-Glimt, and then failed to hold on to victory in the match against Manchester United. Despite the serious fight for first place in the national championship standings, the European Cup tournament is very important for Porto, which means that in the next round the team will set itself the task of winning its first victory. The support of their home fans will be very welcome for the hosts this evening.

Hoffenheim

The German team has earned four points in the first two rounds of the Europa League: first, the team tied with Midtjylland (1:1), and then confidently beat Dynamo Kyiv at home (2:0). Hoffenheim is in a very dangerous situation in the German championship, where the team has started the competition very unsuccessfully and is in the relegation zone of the tournament table. Therefore, now the coaching staff of Hoffenheim will have to correctly prioritize and play time between their players, because both competitions are very important for the club.
