We fancy Hoffenheim’s chances of getting on the scoresheet, but with just 1 clean sheet this season they aren’t likely to hold Manchester City at bay for very long. We’re backing Both Teams to Score here, along with a 3-2 win for the hosts.

Manchester City
- Manchester City defeated Hoffenheim 2-1 away in Germany on MD2 of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League. In this game, the first two shots on target were scored within the opening seven minutes (Ishak Belfodil for Hoffenheim & Sergio Aguero for Man City), before David Silva scored in the 87th minute with the final shot on target in the match.
- City are unbeaten in their last six Champions League games against German opponents (W5 D1) since a 0-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in September 2014 – current Man City boss Pep Guardiola was in charge of Bayern that day.
- After going 12 games without a loss at the Etihad in the Champions League (W9 D3), Manchester City have lost three of their last four there – though they did beat Shakhtar Donetsk 6-0 in their most recent such game.
Hoffenheim
- Hoffenheim have played away from home against English opposition just once before; they lost 2-4 to Liverpool in the playoffs of the 2017-18 edition of the competition, being eliminated in the process.
- If Hoffenheim fail to beat Manchester City they will become the first to team finish bottom of their group despite scoring 10 or more goals since Olympiakos in 2002-03 (11 goals), and just the third side overall (also Monaco in 2000-01; 13 goals).
- Reiss Nelson could become the first Englishman to score against an English side in the Champions League for a non-British side, and the first do so for a non-English side since Patrick Roberts against Manchester City in December 2016.
