Hoffenheim host Beşiktaş in the Europa League on 15 October 2026 at 22:00, with the German side desperate to arrest a slump that has seen them lose back-to-back Bundesliga matches and suffer a 2-0 defeat to OFI Crete in their European opener. Defender Albian Hajdari is the only confirmed absentee. Beşiktaş arrive in better form, winning seven of their last ten matches and averaging 2.3 goals per game over that run. Summer signing Dusan Vlahovic and former Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard are expected to start, though Vaclav Cerny remains doubtful after a knock picked up in a 2-1 victory over Kocaeli.
Form and H2H
Hoffenheim's defensive frailty is the defining issue. Over their last ten matches, they have conceded 2.0 goals per game at home, with particular trouble in their last four home outings where they have shipped 2.5 goals per game on average. The hosts have won just three of their last ten, drawing once and losing six. Beşiktaş have built momentum with seven wins in their last ten away matches, scoring 2.3 goals per game and conceding just 1.0 per game. The visitors' attacking depth and Hoffenheim's leaky defence create a recipe for goals on both sides.
Best Bet
Hoffenheim 2 - 2 Beşiktaş. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals are strong supporting plays given Hoffenheim's defensive vulnerabilities and Beşiktaş's attacking potency. A draw with goals at both ends reflects the underlying pattern: Hoffenheim will score but cannot keep Beşiktaş out. Beşiktaş draw is available at 1xBet 4.11.
Odds to Watch
Hoffenheim win is priced at Mostbet 1.91, 1Win 1.93, Melbet 1.92, and 1xBet 1.97. The home side's defensive record makes backing them a poor proposition. Beşiktaş win sits at Mostbet 3.45, 1Win 3.5, Melbet 3.5, and 1xBet 3.58, offering value given their recent form and Hoffenheim's struggles. Over 2.5 goals is the most likely outcome given the attacking quality on display and the hosts' inability to keep clean sheets.
