Manchester City are the favourites, but Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann says he believes in his team - as long his players are brave on the ball.
"I'm looking forward to my first Champions League home game! Until now, I haven't felt too different. We just need to focus on training. Tonight, the excitement will probably be more intense," Nagelsmann said according to the club and added:
"Manchester City will be expecting to win the game, but we have a very brave plan. Our strength is our football. Everyone who plays tomorrow will be brave on the ball."
Hoffenheim got a point out of their first Champions League game as they drew 2-2 with Shakhtar Donetsk while Manchester City surprisingly lost 1-2 to Olympique Lyon in their opening game in the tournament.
