Hoffenheim
Molde and Hoffenheim face each other in a highly-anticipated game at Estadio de la Ceramica in the Europa League last 32, first leg. Since the game will be played on a neutral location, Hoffenheim are seen as hot favourites to win the first leg, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Molde have not been in action since December 19, 2020, which is yet another reason why home win should not be considered.
The Bundesliga side proved their worth in a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund, and they are surely capable of beating the Norwegian outfit behind closed doors. Even though the likes of Akpoguma, Bicakcic, Geiger, Hubner, Nordtveit, Sessegnon, and Stafylidis are likely to miss the game with injuries, we are tempted to put our money on Hoffenheim, who are more of a team than Molde.
