Hoffenheim vs. Tottenham Hotspur - prediction, free online live stream , lineups

Tottenham Hotspur on January 23, 2025, presents an intriguing matchup for football enthusiasts. As both teams prepare to face each other for the first time in a competitive setting, Hoffenheim enters the match after a recent victory against Holstein Kiel, which may bolster their confidence despite their struggles in the Bundesliga . Conversely, Tottenham Hotspur currently sits four points ahead in their league standings and aims to capitalize on this momentum. The predictions suggest that Hoffenheim might be regarded as underdogs during this encounter due to their inconsistent form.

Tottenham have barely 11 senior players available for Thursday's Europa League tie at Hoffenheim, with at least seven still sidelined and Antonin Kinsky, Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon ineligible in the competition.

Guglielmo Vicario injured, Postecoglou faces a choice between Brandon Austin and Fraser Forster in goal.

Hoffenheim possible starting lineup: Baumann; Gendrey, Arthur Chaves, Akpoguma, Prass; Bischof, Stach; Kaderabek, Kramaric, Hlozek; Moerstedt

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Austin; Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bentancur, Bergvall, Kulusevski; Richarlison, Lankshear, Moore

Tottenham are four points and 18 places ahead of Hoffenheim in the league phase table, with Ange Postecoglou's team likely to head into the final matchday with a top eight spot in their hands should they claim a rare victory on Thursday.

Spurs have won just three of their previous 15 games in all competitions and another Premier League defeat at the weekend means they're just eight points clear of the drop zone.

Ben Davies will again be required to play so soon after returning from injury. Spurs have been boosted by the return to training of Cristian Romero, but this game will come too soon. Radu Dragusin is fine after suffering a cut against Everton. Pape Sarr has been ruled out with a minor knock.

Rodrigo Bentancur is available again after a concussion, while Mikey Moore could start with Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner injured. Heung-min Son may again get the nod in attack, with Dominic Solanke injured, but struggled against Everton.

For fans eager to watch this matchup live, several platforms will offer free online streaming options. Paramount+, along with other services like discovery+ and DAZN Canada, provides viewers with opportunities to follow the action from home. As anticipation builds for this Europa League fixture between Hoffenheim and Tottenham Hotspur, it remains essential to consider how injuries and team dynamics could ultimately influence the outcome of this significant match.
