Tottenham Hotspur vs TSG Hoffenheim Match Preview, Prediction, Timings, Lineups, Teams, and How to Watch

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosts one final pre-season checkpoint as Spurs welcome TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday, August 15, 2026. It’s Roberto De Zerbi’s last home test before the Premier League curtain-raiser, and this fixture doubles as a reunion — the two sides last met in a thrilling Europa League clash back in January 2025.

Spurs have kicked off pre-season with a comfortable 2-0 win over Auckland, while Hoffenheim have enjoyed a perfect start to their summer, including a lopsided 21-0 friendly victory. Expect De Zerbi to use this as a genuine dress rehearsal, with the away trip to Brentford looming just a week later. Football Ground GuideFootball Ground Guide
