Pre-match preview

OFI Kreta

OFI Kreta will be without Dimitrios Nikolaou for the visit of Hoffenheim. He had started three of the club's last five matches, and his absence removes a regular defender from Kontis's side.

Kenan Kodro keeps his place up front after scoring two goals in three starts during that stretch. He has been substituted each time, and Thiago Nuss remains the alternative if Kontis makes a change. On the right of midfield, Lorenzo Dickmann has struggled to find his level through his last three appearances.

Hoffenheim

Vladimír Coufal is a doubt for Hoffenheim's trip to OFI Kreta due to a knock, with Valentin Gendrey the alternative at right-back if he doesn't make it. Coufal has started in each of Hoffenheim's last three matches and set up two goals from that position.

Elsewhere, Adam Hložek has started each of Hoffenheim's last three matches but has been taken off earlier each time, withdrawn with well over half an hour still to play against VfB Stuttgart. On the right of midfield, Bambasé Conté is set to continue ahead of Patrick Wimmer, who was introduced from the bench in the second half last time out after starting the two matches before that.
