Match background Istanbul Başakşehir have only one point on the board in UEFA Europa League Group C as they host a Hoffenheim side that secured their first European win when they defeated the Turkish side 3-1 in Germany on matchday three. Previous meetings All the goals came in the second half at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena as Benjamin Hübner, Nadiem Amiri and Nico Schulz found the net before the visitors scored a consolation goal in added time from Stefano Napoleoni. Prior to that match neither club had played a team from their opponents' country. Form guide Istanbul Başakşehir have won only one of their 13 UEFA fixtures 2-0 at home to Club Brugge in this season's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. They are without a victory in the UEFA Europa League; this is their tenth match in the competition. Hoffenheim have lost both of their European away games to date 4-2 against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League play-offs and 2-1 at Ludogorets on UEFA Europa League matchday two. Eliminated by Sevilla 4-3 on aggregate in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, Istanbul Başakşehir are making their UEFA group stage debut this term. Beaten by Liverpool home and away in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, Hoffenheim are contesting the UEFA Europa League group stage in what is the club's first season in European competition. Trivia and links The journey from Sinsheim to Istanbul is around 1,800km. Istanbul Başakşehir's Tunay Torun was born in Hamburg, and played for Hamburg (2008 11), Hertha (2011 12) alongside Hoffenheim's Schulz and Stuttgart (2012 13) in the German Bundesliga. Alparslan Erdem was also born in Germany, in Vechta, and was a trainee at Werder Bremen (2003 08) before heading to Turkey. Suspended for next match if booked: Júnior Caiçara (İstanbul Başakşehir); Dennis Geiger (Hoffenheim) The coaches Abdullah Avcı led Turkey to success in the 2005 UEFA European Under-17 Championship before taking the Istanbul Başakşehir reins for the first time from 2006 11. He returned to the club in 2014 following an unsuccessful stint as Turkey boss. Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann's playing career ended prematurely due to persistent knee problems, but he shone as a youth coach and aged 28 took charge of Hoffenheim in 2016, becoming the Bundesliga's youngestever senior boss. 3
