Spurs are just a single spot below the automatic qualification places.

Tottenham Hotspur will take a trip to Germany to face off against TSG Hoffenheim as the UEFA Europa League gears up to resume proceedings. Spurs find themselves in a very uncomfortable position in recent days. They are winless in six of their last eight outings and have faced six defeats in the process.

Injuries combined with inconsistency have played a huge part in spoiling their season. They are currently placed 9th in the standings with 11 points from three wins and two draws.

TSG Hoffenheim on the other hand are seeking revival. They have also been highly inconsistent this season and have managed just six points in as many games in the continental championship. They hold the 26th position and are just one point away from getting into the mix for the knockouts if other games’s results go their way.

The Kraichgauers have to step up and put together convincing displays in their remaining two games if they are to go further into the competition.

Players to watch

Adam Hložek (TSG Hoffenheim)

The Czechia forward has enjoyed a good run of form for Hoffenheim this season. He has been consistent and always has an eye for goal. Hložek is known for his ability to operate in multiple positions.

A striker by trade, the 22-year-old can also play as a left winger and attacking midfielder if required. He has found the back of the net seven times and is fresh off a brace in the last game.

Dejan Kulusevski (Tottenham Hotspur)

Dejan Kulusevski will be the main man for the Spurs heading into this game. The Swedish international is a multi-faceted forward and can slot in at multiple positions to cater for the team’s needs. His vision, ball distribution and control come in as an added advantage for Tottenham Hotspurs.

Kulusevski has eight goals and assists each across all competitions, including two goals in the last three games.
