Greek side OFI Crete will have a first taste of the Europa League main draw this week. They will be at home against German side Hoffenheim. This will be the first-ever meetup between these two sides. OFI Crete are on a five-game winning run at home and our prediction backs them for victory.
Greek Cup winners OFI were on fire in the UEL qualifiers, dispatching CSKA Sofia 5-0 on aggregate. As they mark their return to this level, they will be confident of a good start, having posted wins in six of their last nine matches.
They only lost once in that run, and in their last four, they didn’t concede a goal. OFI claimed a 3-0 win at home against CSKA Sofia, that being one of their five straight wins at home coming here.
Hoffenheim had a torrid time the last time they participated in Europe. In the 2024/25 season, they were in the Europa League when in eight matches, they could only post two wins.
One of the wins came on the road, where they also suffered two of their three defeats. The Germans will be hoping for a better run this time, especially given their tough start to the season.
In their latest outing they did well to beat Stuttgart 2-1 at home, but that was after suffering back-to-back losses in their opening Bundesliga games. The visitors lost three of their last six away matches and will hope for a better outing here.

Our OFI Crete vs Hoffenheim Prediction
In Europe, in their last four away matches, Hoffenheim managed one win and two defeats. Their general performance the last time the team played in Europe wasn’t great. We might see the same here, as they have started their season shakily.
While the quality of opposition is a separate point, OFI have had a solid run to this end and come here with some notable momentum. The Greek side might not have been in Europe a lot recently but will be lifted by recent results. Our prediction for OFI Crete v Hoffenheim is that OFI Crete wins.
