Manchester City lost their opening game in Europe against Lyon at home, which can be considered a shock with City being in such great form in the domestic league. But, Pep Guardiola’s men have lost their last four in UEFA Champions League, and that is one record that the Spanish coach will look to fix at the earliest. Things are certainly not getting easy though as they travel to Germany to face last season surprise package Hoffenheim. Julian Nagelsmann’s men drew their game at Shakhtar 2-2 and will be eager to get three points on board. Here's all Hoffenheim vs Manchester City, UEFA Champions League live streaming online, fixture time in IST, CL 2018–19 match live telecast on TV and free football score updates?

Manchester City are battling with injuries to several key players like Benjamin Mendy, Kevin De Bruyne, Fabian Delph, Eliaquim Mangala. De Bruyne returned to training this week, but the game is just too early for the playmaker. Sergio Aguero though has been cleared by club doctors to take part in the game, and Manchester City legend will likely be part of the playing eleven. City’s defence has kept four clean sheets in the past five outings, but that could be tested when they play Hoffenheim. The German team often is involved in goal fest which could be fantastic from a neutral point of view.

Hoffenheim skipper Kevin Vogt will miss the crucial game with a thigh injury and will be a massive miss for the team. Vogt is a key member of the German club’s backline and could have been more than a handful in stopping Aguero. Stefan Posch will replace Vogt in the line-up and could be in for a tough night at home. Hoffenheim’s fans are often considered to be the one of the most intimidating in European football. Manchester City will have to be to be at their best to overcome the atmosphere and play their free-flowing game.

The game will also see the clash of a 31-year-old coach Julian Nagelsmann who has revered for his attacking approach and was heavily linked to Real Madrid job and Pep Guardiola, the proven maestro. They both will not back down and set up their teams to have a go at each other, and we could have goals galore this evening.
