Hoffenheim failed to create a single big chance against Holstein Kiel despite scoring three times, as many goals as they managed in their prior six games.

Manager Christian Ilzer's side were beaten 3-2 on Thursday by Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League, and the loss means they have to win their final game in Europe and hope results go their way in order to qualify for the round of 16.

Die Kraichgauer lost 3-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt in the league on August 31, a match in which the victors produced 13 shots from inside the box compared to Hoffenheim's three.

Ilzer's team are in poor form, with the club's win against Holstein Kiel their only triumph in their last 11 outings in all competitions, losing on seven occasions in that period, including in four of their past five.

The hosts' record at home is poor considering they are winless in their five most recent games at PreZero Arena, losing their last three by a cumulative score of 6-3.

Boss Dino Toppmoller will be pleased that his side managed to beat Ferencvaros 2-0 on Thursday in the Europa League as they have all but qualified for the round of 16 considering they now need just a point to advance automatically to the next stage.

Toppmoller's team have scored 42 goals and conceded 24 times in the Bundesliga, and these are the division's joint third-best offensive and joint fourth-best defensive records.

Eintracht Frankfurt are in strong form, with the club having emerged victorious in each of their last four games, though they did lose four of their previous six matches.

While the visitors' performances away from home have been subpar – they have been defeated in three of their four most recent away fixtures – they have won three of their last four away Bundesliga matches.

Hoffenheim possible starting lineup:

Baumann; Gendrey, Chaves, Akpoguma, Prass; Stach, Becker; Hlozek, Bischof, Moerstedt; Kramaric

Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup:

Trapp; Collins, Koch, Theate; Kristensen, Skhiri, Larsson, Brown; Knauff, Gotze; Ekitike
