Crystal Palace to host Hoffenheim in Europa League clash

Crystal Palace will host TSG Hoffenheim at Selhurst Park on Thursday, November 5, in a key Europa League fixture. Both clubs are currently fighting for positions within the play-off spots. Crystal Palace sits in 15th place with four points, while Hoffenheim is in 23rd place with three points.

Crystal Palace has found success in European competition despite struggling in the Premier League, where they currently reside in the relegation zone. Forward Yeremy Pino has been a standout performer, scoring in each of Palace’s first three European matches.

Hoffenheim has experienced inconsistent form, recently suffering a Bundesliga defeat to Werder Bremen after a significant win against Lyon. The German side has historically struggled against English opposition, having lost all five of their previous encounters with clubs from England.
