OFI Crete will be full of confidence when they take on Hoffenheim in their Europa League opener, having stunned Greek giants Olympiacos 1-0 at the weekend. The result extended OFI’s winning run to three matches and underlined their impressive defensive form. Dimitrios Nikolaou is likely to miss out through injury, with Kresimir Krizmanic ready to step in. OFI have won all five of their last five home matches, scoring 2.60 goals per game and conceding just 0.20.
Hoffenheim also head into the European campaign on a high after beating Stuttgart 2-1 in their latest Bundesliga outing. Adam Hlozek will be the man to watch after scoring twice at the weekend, while Alexander Prass remains sidelined. The German side have scored 1.83 goals per away game across their last 10 matches, but have conceded 2.00 on average, suggesting OFI could cause problems.
As OFI's perfect home record demands respect, we are tempted to bet on OFI or Draw, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Hoffenheim away games average 3.83 goals).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 17 September 2026 at 17:45.
