Our Prediction for the Hoffenheim vs Lyon Match
"Die Kraichgauer" have been experiencing a prolonged decline since Nagelsmann's departure, showing very average results. However, with Matarazzo at the helm last season, they managed to improve enough to finish in seventh place, which allowed them to return to European competitions. Lyon, a year ago, was in one of the deepest and longest crises in recent history. But the coaching talents of Pierre Sagnol and the active additions of new players in January helped turn things around, and the club eventually finished sixth in Ligue 1.
Currently, Mikautadze and his new teammates have not had the best start, with only one win in their first five league matches. However, they have significantly improved since then, winning more frequently. Matarazzo's side, after a 3-2 win in the first round against Holstein Kiel, lost four matches in a row. They only started regularly earning points in October.
In the Europa League, the Germans started quite well. They managed to secure a draw in Denmark against Midtjylland with an incredible goal from young Morstedt. Then they confidently won 2-0 against Dynamo Kyiv. However, they struggled away to Porto, failing to respond to two goals from the "Dragons." The French, on the other hand, won easily at home against Olympiakos and away against Rangers but stumbled on home soil, losing 0-1 to Besiktas.
