Hoffenheim:
As you know, the Hoffenheim team arrives for the first time in a group stage of the European Champions League after finishing third in last season’s Bundesliga.
Recall that in the 2017/18 season played in the playoff round where they could not against a Liverpool that eventually reached the final of that tournament.
Thus, the debut for the run by Julian Nagelsmann was positive, as they traveled to Ukraine and rescued a good draw with two goals against Shakhtar Donetsk, in a result that makes them dream of qualifying to the next round of the competition or in their defect being third and going to the UEFA Europa League.
Of course, Hoffenheim has to change the performance of their game, since they have not been very fine in this season start, to the point that they have only won three of their eight competitive games this season, and one of them was a showdown DFB Pokal against Kaiserslautern, and even in his last game against RB Leipzig he was defeated and beware that the game was played at home.

For this game Manchester City has an “Ace” up its sleeve and it is the presence of Guardiola on the coach bench, and that the Spanish strategist does not know of defeats in his six games against Hoffenheim where five of them finished in victories and on Tuesday he will want to continue along the same path and more with the need of his team to recover in the tournament.
As for direct confrontations, the game on Tuesday will be the first time these teams will face each other, although for Hoffenheim it will be the third game against an English team, remember that they faced Liverpool in the 2017/18 playoff round and lost both games, adding a global score of 6-3.
For their part, Manchester City are unbeaten in their last five Champions League matches against German opponents where four of them finished in victories, thus their only loss was in September 2014 when they lost by the minimum difference against a Bayern Munich that in that era was directed by Pep Guardiola
