Hoffenheim will hope to strengthen their grip on UEFA Europa League Group L as they welcome to southern Germany a Slovan Liberec side who were well beaten on their travels last time out. • Sebastian Hoeness's side have collected a maximum six points from their opening two games, a 2-0 home win over Crvena zvezda preceding a historic 4-1 success at Gent – Hoffenheim's first away victory in UEFA competition – that featured four different scorers, 's penalty making it 1-0 at the interval before further strikes from , Mijat Gaćinović and Munas Dabbur. Liberec, who beat Gent 1-0 at home on Matchday 1, were then overwhelmed 5-1 by Crvena zvezda in Belgrade, their joint heaviest European defeat. Previous meetings • This is Hoffenheim's first UEFA fixture against Czech opponents and Liberec's ninth against a German club, none of the previous eight having yielded a victory (D3 L5). They lost their first three in Germany but drew the most recent, 2-2 at Freiburg in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage. Form guide Hoffenheim • Sixth place in the 2019/20 Bundesliga secured a return to European football for Hoffenheim after a one-year absence, putting them in the UEFA Europa League group stage for the second time. • Hoffenheim failed to progress from their group on their previous appearance in the competition, finishing fourth on five points in 2017/18 in a group containing Braga, Ludogorets and İstanbul Başakşehir. They also finished bottom of their UEFA Champions League group the following season with three points, behind Manchester City, Lyon and Shakhtar Donetsk. • Hoffenheim have scored in all 16 of their European fixtures but despite this season's successes they have won only three of them, losing eight. Their home record in Europe is W2 D2 L4. Liberec • Liberec finished fifth in last season's Czech Liga and also reached the cup final, which they lost 2-1 to Sparta Praha. The league placing earned the club a return to UEFA competition after a three-season absence. • Having kicked off their 2020/21 UEFA Europa League campaign with away wins at Riteriai (5-1) and FCSB (2-0), 's side secured the club's fourth appearance in the competition's group stage by overcoming APOEL 1-0 at home in the play-offs. Liberec came through their group at the first attempt in 2013/14, finishing second behind eventual winners Sevilla before losing in the round of 32 to AZ Alkmaar, but failed to make further progress in both 2015/16 (third place) and 2016/17 (fourth). • Although Liberec have lost only four of their 11 away fixtures in the UEFA Europa League proper, winning three, all of those defeats have come in the last five matches (D1), with 14 goals conceded over that stretch and just four scored. Links and trivia • Hoffenheim's Czech Republic international Pavel Kadeřábek joined the club from Sparta Praha in 2015. He made 76 appearances in the Czech top flight, including 11 on loan at Viktoria Žižkov, and won the domestic double with Sparta in 2013/14.
