Molde vs Hoffenheim - Match Preview

Molde hosts Hoffenheim in the Europa League at Estadio de la Ceramica in Villarreal on Thursday evening.

Molde VS Hoffenheim - Betting Preview

The match had to be moved from Aker Stadion in Molde due to German restrictions preventing travel to or from countries where any new variants of COVID-19 are currently known to be present. Norwegian runners-up last season will be competing in the Europa League knockout stage for only the second time in the club's history. The club's last tie at this stage ended in a 3-1 aggregate defeat to eventual champions Sevilla in 2016, and this could be a better chance of progressing to the latter stages. With the Norwegian season finishing in December, Erling Moe's side has only competed in friendlies in recent weeks, so they could find the intensity of a competitive match difficult to adjust to.


They depend much on the form and match fitness of captain Magnus Wolff Eikrem, who came through the ranks at Manchester United and had a spell with Cardiff City earlier in his career. The creative midfielder is carrying much of the offensive load in the final third with three goals and two assists helping his side finish second behind Arsenal in Group B, providing threats from set-pieces and creative passing and outside shots. Molde will be without Ola Brynhildsen, who is not set to return from his fractured leg until April. Moe is likely to pack the midfield in a 4-5-1 system, with his defense sitting deep in an attempt to combat Hoffenheim's counter-attacking style.


Molde: Linde; Pedersen, Gregersen, Sinyan, Risa; Hestad, Aursnes, Ellingsen, Eikrem, Knudtzon; Omoijuanfo


Hoffenheim has endured a rollercoaster season, with impressive home performances in Group L and an unbeaten record after winning five and drawing once, but currently, they are struggling in the bottom half of the Bundesliga. Thursday's clash with Molde will be their first European knockout stage tie in the club's history, so there are high stakes for Sebastian Hoeness's side. Hoffenheim had no luck at all with injuries and virus situation in this season and was dealt another blow by his top goalscorer Andrej Kramaric sustaining an ankle injury last week, which is likely to keep the Croatian out for a month. As the best scorer and provider of the most attacking chances in front of a rival's goal, life for Hoffenheim without his qualities will be even more difficult.


Hoeness will still be expected to navigate his side past Molde across two legs alongside keeping the club clear of relegation trouble. If they can get themselves into the last 16 with Kramaric potentially nearing a return, anything could happen. Rest, rotation, and a positive coronavirus test meant that Kramaric did not start a game for Hoffenheim in the group stage, and the Croatian is set to miss both legs of this tie, too, with an ankle injury. The German side is also likely to travel to Villarreal without Chris Richards, Havard Nordtveit, Ryan Sessegnon, Kevin Akpoguma, Dennis Geiger, Ermin Bicakcic, Benjamin Hubner, and Kostas Stafylidis due to injury, meaning Hoeness's substitutes' bench will have a few empty seats once again.


Hoffenheim: Baumann; Posch, Vogt, Kasim; Kaderabek, Rudy, Samassekou, Baumgartner, John; Bebou, Dabbur

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
