This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Hoffenheim at PreZero Arena when the Europa League tournament arrives in town and Crvena Zvezda with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
The visiting Crvena Zvezda played their last game only four days ago, a Super Liga match. That game was also an away game, at Partizan. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Crvena Zvezda, who are travelling more than 3000 kilometers to play this game.
Hoffenheim form and stats
Last season, Hoffenheim's Champions League journey ended in the group stage.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Hoffenheim's two home games in the Bundesliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at PreZero Arena.
The Hoffenheim crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Borussia Dortmund here at PreZero Arena in a Bundesliga match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Eintracht Frankfurt (1-2).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hoffenheim as they are travelling to their away game against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. That match is three days after this one.
At PreZero Arena, Hoffenheim has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Crvena Zvezda form and stats
Crvena was sent out of Champions League in the group stage last season.4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of Crvena Zvezda playing as the away team in the Super Liga this season. Things are running smoothly for Crvena who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Backa Topola.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Partizan in their previous outing. The Super Liga match ended in a draw 1-1. A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Napredak.
A quick return to home after this game, as Crvena are hosting Javor Ivanjica in the Super Liga only three days away.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Crvena are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Crvena Zvezda defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 5 games).
