Match Facts
OFI’s only previous European game against a German opponent came in in the 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup group stage, losing 1-0 to Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. Hoffenheim meanwhile have never met a Greek opponent in a competitive fixture.
This will be OFI’s first game in major European competition since the 2000-01 UEFA Cup second round, drawing 2-2 at home in the first leg with Slavia Prague before losing 4-1 away in the second leg.
This will be Hoffenheim’s fifth season in major European competition and they are unbeaten in their opening match in each of the last three (W1 D2), most recently drawing 1-1 with Midtjylland in the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League.
OFI’s Taxiarchis Fountas has scored just once in 12 UEFA Europa League appearances, netting the opener for Rapid in a 2-1 home defeat to Arsenal in October 2020.
Christian Ilzer has only won four of 22 UEFA Europa League matches (D6 L12), all of which came in the group stages between 2022-23 and 2024-25 with Sturm Graz and current side Hoffenheim.
