Crystal Palace vs Hoffenheim prediction
It was reported that Pierre Sage was given an EFL Cup game against Fulham and a Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur to save his Crystal Palace job. The Eagles edged past Fulham to make the quarter-finals of the cup before an early Jean-Philippe Mateta red card contributed to a 2-0 defeat to Spurs in the league.
Hoffenheim, with former Sturm Graz boss Christian Ilzer at the helm, have been inconsistent at the start of this season and Ilzer himself is under pressure as they sit in the bottom half of the Bundesliga after a 2-0 loss to in-form Werder Bremen at the weekend, a few days after a cup loss to second-tier Holstein Kiel on penalties.
Hoffenheim did hammer Olympique Lyonnais by three goals to one in their most recent outing in this competition and they will fancy themselves to be competent enough to avoid defeat against a poor and struggling Palace side in South London.
