Preview: Hoffenheim Vs Tottenham
Spurs are just a single spot below the automatic qualification places.
Tottenham Hotspur will take a trip to Germany to face off against TSG Hoffenheim as the UEFA Europa League gears up to resume proceedings. Spurs find themselves in a very uncomfortable position in recent days. They are winless in six of their last eight outings and have faced six defeats in the process.
Injuries combined with inconsistency have played a huge part in spoiling their season. They are currently placed 9th in the standings with 11 points from three wins and two draws.
TSG Hoffenheim on the other hand are seeking revival. They have also been highly inconsistent this season and have managed just six points in as many games in the continental championship. They hold the 26th position and are just one point away from getting into the mix for the knockouts if other games’s results go their way.
The Kraichgauers have to step up and put together convincing displays in their remaining two games if they are to go further into the competition.

About UEFA Europa League:
History
The UEFA Europa League (previously known as the UEFA Cup), abbreviated as UEL, is an annual football club competition organised since 1971 by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) for eligible European football clubs. It is the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the UEFA Champions League and above the UEFA Conference League.
Introduced in 1971 as the UEFA Cup, it replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. The UEFA Cup was the third-tier European club competition from 1971 to 1999 before the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was discontinued, and it is still often referred to as the "C3" in reference to this.[3] Clubs qualify for the competition based on their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions.
In 1999, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was merged with the UEFA Cup and discontinued as a separate competition. From the 2004–05 season a group stage was added before the knockout phase. The competition took on its current name in 2009, following a change in format. The 2009 re-branding included a merge with the UEFA Intertoto Cup, producing an enlarged competition format, with an expanded group stage and a change in qualifying criteria. The winner of the UEFA Europa League qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup, for the following season's UEFA Champions League since the 2014–15 season, entering at the group stage, as well as for the UEFA–CONMEBOL Club Challenge — a friendly cup against the winners of the CONMEBOL Copa Sudamericana — since 2023. In the 2024–25 season, the group stage was replaced with an expanded league phase.
Spanish clubs have the highest number of victories (14 wins), followed by teams from Italy (10 wins) and England (9 wins). The title has been won by 30 clubs, 14 of which have won it more than once. The most successful club in the competition is Sevilla, with seven titles. Colombian striker Radamel Falcao holds the record of most goals (17) scored in a single season of the tournament.
