Ghent - Hoffenheim

The program for the teams that have European obligations is exhausting, as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, so on Thursday the second match of the group stage of the Europa League will take place. In the 12th group that still includes Red Star and Liberec, Ghent will host Hoffenheim.

In a bad momentum the Ghent, which after the 1-0 with which it lost in the Czech Republic from Liberec for the first match, on Monday suffered its 6th defeat in the last 7 matches in all competitions with 1-2 from KRC Genk. The Achilles heel of the defense, has conceded 19 goals in 10 matches that it has given since September. In the attack he is fine, but he is unable to get results with this miserable defensive image, as a result there have been squabbles in the team with everyone being judged, obviously also coach De Decker. It counts 6 out of 7 over 2,5, five of them were ambiguous.

The draw took the Hoffenheim in Bremen on Sunday against Werder, the final 1-1 was formed from 22 '. The sign is positive so far, in Europe the institution entered well, defeating the Red Star 2-0, keeping a clean sheet after a long time and making a satisfactory appearance. With a possible victory in Belgium he will have made a huge qualifying step, in the Bundesliga he is not doing badly with 7 points in 5 games he is in the middle of the ranking. He has scored 11 goals in the last 6 matches has accepted 7, however it has a lot of room for improvement in the attack with the defense being unstable at intervals but also from game to game.

Ghent has no room for another defeat, if it loses logically it bids farewell to the qualifying case and needs immediate recovery. She will play openly as always, she is tired from the championship match that took place on Monday and her defense is broken. Opportunity for the Germans to get the three-pointer, but they have some absences and it is questionable how they will approach the match. Best choice G / G even in the small 1,53 of Stoiximan.
