Liverpool vs Hoffenheim
2017/18 UEFA Champions League Play-off
Date: Wednesday, 23rd August 2017
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Anfield.

Liverpool had a good chunk on lucky in the first leg clash against Hoffenheim. Carrying over a 2-1 lead, the Reds just have to do a professional job in front of their home crowd.

Hoffenheim had the initiative when the teams met at Sinsheim last week. They had the chance to take the lead through a penalty few minutes from kick-off. However, Kramaric was denied from 11 meter out and it was signs of what to come for the Germans. Alexander-Arnold’s wonder strike put Liverpool in front and the lead was extended by a Nordtveit’s own goal. Hoffenheim’s persistence was finally rewarded when Mark Uth scored with 3 minutes left on the clock.

Liverpool are unbeaten in all competitions this season with 2 wins and a draw. They played their first home match of the season on the weekend and earned a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, Hoffenheim started their Bundesliga campaign on the weekend with a narrow 1-0 win over Werder Bremen. They were also victorious in the DFK Pokal tie against lowly Rot Weiss Essen a week ago by a narrow 1-0 margin.

Liverpool vs Hoffenheim: Predictions

It is a hard ask for any team for return from Anfield with a win. No German team had won here and it is more than a herculean task for a team of Hoffenheim’s stature. Therefore, Liverpool could get another win here and we find value in backing this with the combination of Both Teams to Score.
