Lyon started their campaign in the Champions League with an impressive away win at Manchester City but drew with Shakhtar Donetsk at home, missing the chance to open up a three point lead after Hoffenheim blew an early lead to lose at home to City on match day two. Hoffenheim go into a double header with Lyon and should they fail to win at least one of the two matches, their Champions League journey will definitely come to an end. Hoffenheim have not managed a clean sheet in the 11 matches they have played this season, across all competitions, but they have scored in all as well. They have managed three wins in the last 10 matches coming after their German Cup win over Kaiserslautern, while they have scored nine and conceded eight in the last five matches. This is only their fifth Champions League match and Hoffenheim have managed no win in the earlier four, conceding at least two in each but also scoring in each of them. They take on a Lyon side unbeaten in the last five Champions League matches, having won two of those, managed two clean sheets and failed to score in just one. Lyon have avoided defeat in the last three away Champions League matches, winning two, and they have lost just one in the last five away matches in the competition.
