TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at KAA Gent in the live ticker: Bayern conquerors want the next victory in the Europa League
In the Bundesliga, things did not go according to plan for Hoffenheim after a strong start.
After two wins at the beginning including the brilliant 4: 1 against
FC Bayern
there were two defeats and most recently only a 1-1 in Bremen.
TSG also started well in the Europa League, with a 2-0 win against
Red Star Belgrade
on matchday 1
.
TSG now want to step up against Gent and not rest on what they have achieved.
Defender
Stefan Posch
, who prematurely extended his contract until 2024, is confidently entering the game.
"We are in a good mood and want to show what we can do internationally," said the Austrian.
“We can and must improve in the second game.
The chances are good.
If we call up our performance, then anything is possible. "
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at KAA Gent in the live ticker: Belgians in crisis mode
It looks completely different with the opponent KAA Gent.
The Belgians, who became runner-up in the Jupiler Pro League after the corona-related cancellation, are only 13th in the current season after ten match days in the league.
The club with a Sioux chief in the coat of arms brought three wins and seven bankruptcies.
Also at the beginning of the Europa League there was a defeat with the 0-1 at Slovan Liberec.
So Ghent is already under pressure.
“Ghent is of course somewhat under pressure.
I think the team will play forward and try to make the game offensive.
That will suit us, "believes TSG defender
Kevin Akpoguma
and is also aware of his own strengths:" But we just have to take care of ourselves and get through our game.
When we reach our limits, I am in good spirits that we can beat any team in this group. "
