Hoffenheim take on the visitors Lyon at the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena in the Round 3 of the UEFA Champions League Group F. The match will be played in the eponymous city Hoffenheim on Tuesday, October 23rd.
Hoffenheim have a lot of their key players injured at the moment. Thereby they have been struggling to get positive results both in their local Bundesliga and in the UEFA Champions League Group F recently. Now Die Kraichgauer are on the last place in their group with one point to their credit. In the Round 1 of the tournament they managed to draw against Shakhtar Donetsk with a 2-2 score on the away field. In the Round the team of Julian Nagelsmann lost to Manchester City with a 1-2 score in front of their home crowd. Despite of their recent failures the Achtzehn99 have been trying hard to show good performances and have not lost their fixtures with big scores at least. In their last three matches Hoffenheim beat Nurnberg with a 3-1 score, lost to Eintracht Frankfurt with a 1-2 score and to Manchester City with the same 1-2 score in their UEFA Champions League Group F fixture.

Lyon have been in a pretty good shape recently. They are on the first place in the UEFA Champions League Group F with four points and a 4-3 goal difference to their credit after two rounds. In the Round 1 of the tournament Les Gones surprised everyone and beat Manchester City with a 2-1 score on the away field. In the Round 2 though the team of Bruno Genesio struggled against Shakhtar Donetsk and drew with a 2-2 score in the end at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais. In their last three matches Lyon beat Nimes with a 2-0 score, lost to Paris Saint-Germain with a 0-5 score and drew against Shakhtar Donetsk with a 2-2 score in their UEFA Champions League Group F fixture.
Hoffenheim and Lyon have never faced each other before. The upcoming match will be the first one between them in history and it will be very interesting to see who is better. Both Die Kraichgauer and Les Gones have been very productive recently so we should see a lot of goals from them on Tuesday.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored.
