1899 Hoffenheim vs Lyon

Hoffenheim’s only previous meetings with French opponents were with Lyon in the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League group stage – they drew 3-3 at home and 2-2 away.

Lyon have won just two of their last 11 meetings with German sides in all competitions (D4 L5), beating Schalke 1-0 in September 2010, and RB Leipzig 2-0 in October 2019.

TSG Hoffenheim lost 2-0 to FC Porto on MD3 but haven’t lost consecutive UEFA Europa League matches since losing their first two in the competition in September 2017 against Braga and Ludogorets.

Lyon have conceded just 16 fouls in the UEFA Europa League this season, 10 fewer than anyone else. Despite that, they’ve received six yellow cards.

TSG Hoffenheim’s Adam Hlozek has had seven shots following a ball carry in the UEFA Europa League this season, more than any other player.
