OFI play the opening round of the league phase at the Pankritio Stadium in Heraklion. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-0 home win over Nestos Chrisoupolis, preceded by a 2-0 again at home against Kifisia. Before those came a 0-0 at PAOK and a 1-2 away at Aris Thessalonikis, the only slip of the spell; further back sits a 2-0 away at CSKA Sofia.

FC Köln. The five most recent outings also include a 4-0 away at Erzgebirge Aue and the two games with Tottenham, a 2-2 and a 0-3, both on the road. Ten goals scored and eleven conceded across the spell. The competition has only just started: neither side has points yet and the table positions are merely provisional. There is no head-to-head record between OFI and 1899 Hoffenheim. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.
