Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Hoffenheim welcome Besiktas to the SNP Arena in Sinsheim on Thursday, October 15, for Matchday 2 of the 2026-27 UEFA Europa League league phase. The German side needs a response after losing its opening European fixture, while Besiktas arrives with three points already secured.
The match gives the hosts an opportunity to recover ground early in the competition and gives the Turkish visitors a chance to strengthen their position in the standings.

Hoffenheim lost 2-0 away to OFI Crete in their Europa League opener on September 17. Their domestic form has also been troubling: Christian Ilzer‘s team suffered a 3-2 defeat against Hamburger SV after surrendering a second-half lead.
The club had narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification the previous season, making a strong European campaign important. Playing at home offers Hoffenheim an opportunity to turn things around, but they will need to improve defensively and take their chances in front of goal.
Besiktas, meanwhile, made a strong start to its European campaign with a 4-1 victory over Marseille. Goals from Ilhan Fakili, Michael Murillo, Ernest Poku and Vaclav Cerny helped the Turkish side claim an impressive opening win.
Under coach Vincenzo Italiano, Besiktas has shown promising form, although its away performances have been less consistent. A positive result in Germany would give the visitors further momentum as they pursue a place in the knockout rounds.
