Hoffenheim come to this clash motivated after a 0-2 triumph at Slovan Liberec, in a game counting for the Europa League: the goals of the team were signed by Christoph Baumgartner and Andrej Kramaric. However, it is important to note that the visitors are going through a difficult moment in the Bundesliga and have not won for six consecutive games. Even so, coach Sebastian Hoeness should act in the usual 3-5-2, favoring the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks: Dennis Geiger is the great organizer of the offensive process. Striker Andrej Kramaric is the highlight of this team, with 7 goals scored. For this match the visiting coach cannot count on Ermin Bicakic and Konstantinos Stafylidis, both injured, and also Kevin Vogt, Sebastian Rudy, Munas Dabbur, Robert Skov, Sargis Adamyan and Ishak Belfodil, these in quarantine.

Confirmed Lineup: Oliver Baumann, Kevin Akpoguma, Kasim Adams, Stefan Posch, Florian Grillitsch, Dennis Geiger, Diadie Samassekou, Ryan Sessegnon, Christoph Baumgartner, Andrej Kramarić, Ihlas Bebou.
Coach: A. Breitenreiter.
