An intriguing match in the UEFA Europa League as English Premier League side Crystal Palace host Germany's Hoffenheim. Neither side is in particularly good form heading into this one. The Eagles have won just one of their last six in all competitions, a 1-0 away win in the Carabao Cup against Fulham. As for Hoffenheim, their three match winning streak came to an end against Holsten Kiel before defeat in the Bundesliga away at Werder Bremen.

While Palace have been poor in their domestic league, their European adventure has gone reasonably well so far. An impressive 4-0 win over Lech Poznan was followed by a narrow defeat away at Lyon. Their last Europa League match, away at Besiktas, ended in a 2-2 draw. Die Kraichgauer have only won one of their three Europa League matches so far, a fantastic 3-0 win at home to Lyon, but they'd lost their first two.

Palace head into this game as favorites, but for our prediction we're looking at the Total Goals market. We think they'll be a few goals scored in this one.
