#TSGTOT: Poor run against English opponents

TSG Hoffenheim facts

Hoffenheim have suffered defeats in all 4 of their matches so far against English opponents in international competitions. TSG lost to Liverpool on two occasions in qualification for the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League and twice tasted defeat to Manchester City in the group phase in the 2018/19 season.

Hoffenheim played 18 UEFA Europa League matches between 2017 and 2020, during which time they scored at least one goal in every match. However, they have since failed to find the net in five of their 10 games.

Hoffenheim have gone 2 games in a row without scoring a goal in the UEFA Europa League – a negative streak that must be broken to keep their chances of progressing alive.

Tottenham Hotspur facts

Spurs have won 1 of their last six matches against German teams in all competitions (one draw and four defeats). Their last victory to date was by a 3-2 scoreline against Eintracht Frankfurt in October 2022.

Tottenham are currently on a 3-game winless streak in the UEFA Europa League (two draws and one defeat). Their last longer winless run was in the Champions League between February and October 2018, when they went five games without victory.

Archie Gray has played 6 games from the start in the current Europa League campaign, playing the full 90 minutes on each occasion. That makes him the second player after Arsenal's Bukayo Saka to achieve this feat in competition at the age of 18 or younger.
