Hoffenheim take on the visitors Ludogorets at “Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena” in the round six of the UEFA Europa League Group stage. The game will be played in Sinsheim on Thursday, December 7th.
This weekend Hoffenheim broke their three-match run without victories, having smashed RB Leipzig with 4:0 scoreline in the Bundesliga. That success allowed “Die Kraichgauer” to settle on the fifth place in the German elite division table with 23 points earned after 14 clashes played. Meanwhile, the German club completely failed the UEFA Europa League, having lost all chances for promotion from Group C as the team managed to pick up just four points with 7-9 goal difference in five matchdays, sitting now on the fourth position in the standings. This season Hoffenheim participated in 11 fights at the home pitch, having got five triumphs, three draws and three losses in them.

In their turn, Ludogorets were beaten by Beroe with 1:2 scoreline in their latest game in the Bulgarian Parva Liga. That failure cost the side the first place in the Bulgarian elite division standings where “Орлите” currently occupy the second position with 42 points gained, being two points behind CSKA-Sofia. The Bulgarians collected eight points with six goals for and four goals against in five encounters played in the EUFA Europa League, settling on the second place in Group C. And for appearing in the spring stage of the tournament, it will be quite enough for the visitors not to lose on Thursday. Ludogorets conducted 15 games on the road in this season, resulting in eight wins, four draws and three defeats.
In the first-lap fight in Bulgaria the hosting team deserved 2:1 triumph. A number of scored goals are also should be expected in the upcoming battle as the hosts will play for their pleasure while Ludogorets will tend not to fail.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
