Anderlecht vs 1899 Hoffenheim, 10 December 2026, UEFA Europa League: form, head-to-head and match facts

Anderlecht host 1899 Hoffenheim in what looks to be a pivotal clash for both sides, with the Belgian giants sitting seventh on 10 points after three wins, a draw and two defeats, scoring four and conceding five. Hoffenheim, languishing in 13th place with just three points from a solitary victory and two losses, have a leaky defence that has let in seven goals while finding the net six times. The home side will be keen to tighten up a defence that has cost them more than they have scored, whereas the Germans will hope their modest attacking output can finally break through a RSC Anderlecht side that has struggled to keep clean sheets. A win for either club could dramatically reshape the mid‑table battle, with Anderlecht eyeing a push back into the European spots and Hoffenheim fighting to climb out of the relegation mire.
