Hoffenheim – Lyon Preview

Hoffenheim hosts Olympique Lyonnais at the PreZero Arena in a match from the 4th round of Europa League. This is a fine moment for us to present you with our Accurate football predictions today.

 

One win, one draw, one loss – this is how Hoffenheim are doing so far in this competition. They are far from convincing, but still have chances to reach the knockout phase. A win in the next match would help them do it, but it won’t be easy against a team like Lyon.

 

In their last match in Europa League Hoffenheim conceded their first loss – 0-2 against Porto. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team gave its best at the Do Dragao, but against Porto it’s always difficult.

 

One of the impressive things about Hoffenheim is their attack. The club currently have players like Adam Hlozek, Andrej Kramaric and Jacob Bruun Larsen. These players could cause a lot of problems to every opponent.

 

Olympique Lyonnais have 6 points won in Europa League from the first three rounds. It could have been 9, but in their last match Les Gones suffered a surprising home defeat against Besiktas – 0-1. The French team was favorite for the win, but Besiktas managed to secure the win.

 

Now Lyon’s manager Pierre Sage can do some small changes in the line-up against Hoffenheim. Players like Fofana, Zaha and Orban could get a chance to start.

 

Said Benrahma is a player to watch in Olympique Lyonnais’ team. The former West Ham winger is very dangerous when he’s in a good shape. Hoffenheim’s defense have to be very careful with the Algerian.

 

That’s the Accurate football predictions today for the upcoming Europa League game between Hoffenheim and Olympique Lyonnais on Thursday. This game is not easy to predict, but let’s see. One thing is for sure – both teams are very competitive.
