Confirmed lineups: Anderlecht vs. TSG Hoffenheim | OneFootball

After last weekend's 2-2 stalemate with Eintracht Frankfurt, Hoffenheim turn their attention to the Europa League this evening with a potentially season-defining fixture against Anderlecht.

Christian Ilzer has just announced his team to take on the Belgian club. With veteran goalkeeper Oliver Baumann injured, Luca Philipp gets another chance to deputise between the posts.

Ilzer resorts to his preferred three-man defence with Arthur Chaves playing alongside Robin Hanrac and Kevin Akpoguma.

Moving into the middle third and 20-year-old David Mokwa starts on the right flank with David Jurasek on the left. The central midfield trio is comprised of Tom Bischof, skipper Denis Geiger and Fin-Ole Becker.

The two-man strike force is comprised of Adam Hlozek and Max Moerstedt who will require goals and some favourable results in other fixtures if Hoffenheim are hoping to sneak inside the top-24 places.

Meanwhile, Anderlecht head coach Roel Clement lines up with a 4-3-3 formation captained by Yari Verschaeren in midfield. The Belgian club also boast a handful of former Bundesliga players including ex-Bremen full-bavk Ludwig Augustinsson and ex-BVB winger Thorgan Hazard.

Anderlecht (4-3-3): Kikkenborg - Sardella, Dendoncker, Simic, Augustinsson - Verschaeren (c), Rita, De Greel - Amuzu, Vázquez, Hazard.

TSG Hoffenheim (3-5-2): Philipp - Chaves, Hanrac, Akpoguma - Mokwa, Bischof, Geiger (c), Becker - Hlozek, Moerstedt
