Porto hosts Hoffenheim at the Estadio do Dragao in the Europa League group stage on Thursday. The Dragons seek their first win in the competition, after a winless start, with a loss and a draw. Porto is unbeaten in four games across all competitions, winning three. They won 3-0 at Sintrense in their first game after the international break in the Taca de Portugal on Sunday. Galeno scored in the first half, while Iván Jaime and Tiago Djalo netted in the second half. Hoffenheim, meanwhile, is unbeaten in three games, winning two. They resumed their Bundesliga campaign after the international break with a 3-1 home win over Bochum on Saturday. Andrej Kramarić broke the deadlock in the 11th minute before Marius Bulter and Haris Tabakovic scored in the second half. Porto suffered a 3-2 loss to Bodo/Glimt in their campaign opener before drawing 3-3 at home to Manchester United. Hoffenheim, meanwhile, got their campaign underway with a 1-1 draw at Midtjylland before beating Dynamo Kyiv 2-0 at home earlier this month. Coach Vitor Bruno will have to deal with the injury of Wendell and the long-term absence of Ivan Marcano. Stephen Eustáquio and Diogo Costa were not in the squad against Sintrense but should return to the starting XI. Hoffenheim has several injuries, including Pavel Kaderabek, Ihlas Bebou, Ozan Kabak, and Florian Grillitsch. Considering Porto's unbeaten home record this season and Hoffenheim's form in away games, expect the hosts to eke out a narrow win.
