Hoffenheim preview: Ended their winless run on Saturday
Hoffenheim played out a goalless draw at home to Romanian side FCSB in their last outing in the Europa League which means that the German club have only won once in six attempts in this competition.
However, Hoffenheim head into Thursday's clash with Spurs on the back of a morale-boosting 3-1 away win against Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga, putting an end to their nine-game winless run across all competitions.
Erencan Yardimci, Umut Tohumcu, Marius Buelter, Diadie Samassekou, Christopher Lenz and Grischa Proemel could all miss out this week due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Baumann (GK), Akpoguma, Prass, Gendrey, Chaves, Stach, Bischof, Kramaric. Hlozek, Yardımcı & Moerstedt

Tottenham preview: Lost three of last five in all competitions
Spurs had to settle for a point in their last Europa League game against Rangers but that moved the English club onto 11 points from their opening six group games.
Tottenham are not in the best of form and have a lot of injuries to key players right now which showed at Goodison Park as the Londoners were beaten 3-2 on Sunday.
Dominic Solanke, Rodrigo Bentancur, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario and Wilson Odobert are all doubts for the trip to Germany this week.
Predicted lineup: Kinsky (GK), Davies, Spence, Dragusin, Porro, Maddison, Kulusevski, Sarr, Gray, Bergvall & Son

Player to watch: Adam Hlozek
Adam Hlozek is the only Hoffenheim player to have scored more than one goal in the Europa League this season and he is our player to watch on Thursday evening.
The 22-year-old has scored seven goals in all competitions for the German club, netting five times in the Bundesliga and twice in the Europa League.
Hlozek has shown his quality in his debut season with Hoffenheim
Hlozek ended his baron run in front of goal at the weekend, scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga, and will be much more confident heading into the Tottenham game.
