Team News

Hoffenheim
Lyon
  • Florian Grillitsch and Dennis Geiger will both be assessed for Hoffenheim.
  • Pavel Kaderabek, Ozan Kabak, Grischa Promel, Ihlas Bebou and David Jurasek miss out.
  • Ernest Nuamah and Mahamahou Diawara are both absent for Lyon, and the former's absence may see Rayan Cherki start from the right.

Prediction

  • Hoffenheim were unable to build upon their DFB-Pokal win over Nuernberg last week as they fell to a 2-0 loss to St. Pauli at the weekend, that defeat ending a three-game home winning run.
  • Lyon have gone off the boil of late, failing to win in three following their 1-1 draw with Lille last week. They are unbeaten in five on the road, however.
  • While Hoffenheim have a decent home record, Lyon will be confident about extending their away unbeaten run with victory on Thursday night.
