Hoffenheim vs Dynamo Kyiv: Europa League Match Prediction
Since the start of the season, Hoffenheim has been entertaining fans with an exciting brand of football, though it doesn't always lead to favorable outcomes. Every official match involving the German club has seen a back-and-forth scoring affair. Will Dynamo Kyiv uphold this attacking style on October 3 in the Europa League? We recommend checking out our predictions and selecting your precise bets.
Command Analysis
Hoffenheim
GermanyCurrent Form
After a four-year absence, Hoffenheim has made its return to European competitions. Unfortunately, the comeback didn't go as hoped with a 1-1 draw against Midtjylland away from home, managing to equalize only in the 90th minute.
Overall, the season start for Pellegrino Matarazzo's squad has been disappointing. After five Bundesliga matches, the team has only secured three points, placing them 16th in the standings. Currently, Hoffenheim has not won in their last four matches across all competitions. Their eagerness to play attacking football often leads to defensive failures, as evidenced by their recent 4-3 loss to Werder Bremen in the latest league round.
Injuries and Suspensions
Hoffenheim faces significant player losses, adversely affecting their performance. Today, due to injuries, Kabak, Jurasik, Jon, Szalai, Premmel, Samassekou, Becker, and Bebou will be absent. The participation of Berisha and Kramaric remains doubtful.
Interesting Betting Trends
- In all official matches this season involving Hoffenheim, there has been a consistent exchange of goals
- In four of the last five matches, Hoffenheim has seen more than two goals scored
Projected Lineup: Baumann – Akpoguma, Grillitsch, Nsoki – Hendry, Tochumdzhu, Bishop, Bülter – Larsen, Glozek – Tabakovic.
Dynamo Kyiv
UkraineCurrent Form
Dynamo struggled in their opening match against Lazio, losing 0-3. The opponent dominated the game, leading 3-0 by the 35th minute and maintaining that advantage. Although the Kyiv team managed six shots on target, they failed to convert any into goals.
Following their European setback, Alexander Shovkovskiy's side rebounded with a decisive 3-0 victory over Levyi Bereh in the domestic league. Dynamo currently sits at the top of the national league standings with 19 points, edging ahead of Oleksandriya on additional criteria.
Disciplinary Issues and Injuries
Bragarn was sent off during the match against Lazio and will miss today's game. Additionally, defender Ceballos sustained an injury in the same match, marking a significant blow to the squad.
Notable Betting Trends
- In four of the last five matches, Dynamo did not exchange goals with their opponents
- Kyiv has conceded the first goal in their last nine Europa League matches
Probable Lineup: Bushchan – Tymchyk, Popov, Mikhavko, Dubinchak – Brazhko, Shaparenko – Yarmolenko, Buyalsky, Kabaev – Vanat.

13.50Tip and bets
Both teams have struggled with their performances and results, especially against stronger opponents. Predicting the outcome in this match is challenging, so we suggest focusing on the goals. Hoffenheim plays an open style of football, scoring frequently but also conceding many chances defensively. In all official matches this season, Hoffenheim has seen goals exchanged, and it’s unlikely this trend will change against Dynamo, which has shown inconsistency in its gameplay.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.60
Match Outcome Bet
On home turf, Hoffenheim is more likely to secure all three points in a goal-heavy match due to their attacking capabilities. Additionally, the Kyiv team appeared unconvincing against Lazio in the opening round of the Europa League.
The second bet is for Hoffenheim to win with an Asian handicap of 0, offering odds of 1.55.
Corner Bet
It's worth noting that in six of their last seven matches, Dynamo has won the corner count. A scenario where the visitors have to chase the game could result in an abundance of corners.
Prediction is a corner win for Dynamo at odds of 2.85.
