What to expect

We expect about 1.8 goals from Hoffenheim and 1.7 from Lyon, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.5 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Hoffenheim come into this on five straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Hoffenheim or Draw. This covers Hoffenheim or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 63 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.45, which works out at about 69 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Hoffenheim have not won any of their last five.
✓Lyon have won three of their last five.
