After a stoppage-time 3-2 home loss to Hamburg on 10 October, Hoffenheim host a Besiktas side that has won 11 of 14 but only half its away games and is expected to rotate before Trabzonspor.

Besiktas are the likeliest winners: 3.3 for the away win and 1.85 for Besiktas to avoid defeat both carry an edge, as do no goals in the first half at 4, under three goals at 2.7 and at least one team failing to score at 2.5. A Hoffenheim win at 1.91 does not.

Context

Frankfurter Allgemeine reported that a sending-off changed the 10 October game against Hamburg, after which Hoffenheim conceded to Miro Muheim in the fourth minute of stoppage time. They have now shipped 15 goals across their last six matches, and this is the club's first home fixture since that collapse. The caveat is that the frailty is domestic and defensive, while Beşiktaş's own away record is the weakest part of their season, so a tight game remains plausible.
- Hoffenheim lost 2-3 at home to Hamburger SV on 10 October 2026, conceding a Miro Muheim winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
- Hoffenheim have five defeats from seven Bundesliga games and sit second from bottom, their only league win coming against VfB Stuttgart.
- Hoffenheim lost their Europa League opener 0-2 at OFI Crete on 17 September 2026.

Sergen Yalçın, who has coached Beşiktaş, said on 11 October that he would play a reserve team at Hoffenheim because the return trip would blunt the side for Trabzonspor, and a separate report the same day said Italiano plans changes. Italiano has already managed minutes around European weeks, withdrawing Salih Özcan, Rıdvan Yılmaz and Emirhan Topçu during the Kocaelispor win. The rotation is expected rather than confirmed, and Beşiktaş's home dominance has not transferred to away matches, so a changed side could cut either way.
- Beşiktaş play Hoffenheim in the Europa League on 15 October and Trabzonspor away four days later.
- On 11 October a report said Vincenzo Italiano plans to rotate for the Hoffenheim match.
- Former Beşiktaş coach Sergen Yalçın said he would field a reserve side at Hoffenheim, citing the travel and the following Trabzonspor game.

T24 reported that Černý could not continue after going off in the first half, and a Turkish football account stated he will not feature in Germany. His exit removes a wide option from the right in a week when Italiano is already weighing changes for the Trabzonspor trip. The length of the absence has not been confirmed by the club, so he should be treated as doubtful rather than ruled out, but this is the clearest availability question on the Beşiktaş side.
- Černý was substituted in the 39th minute of Beşiktaş's 2-1 win over Kocaelispor on 11 October 2026, replaced by İlhan Fakılı.
- He provided the assist for Orkun Kökçü's opening goal before going off.

Süzgün, a Turkish reporter, named Poku among the starters he expects in Sinsheim, signalling that Beşiktaş are preparing to change the front line rather than simply field their usual eleven. It fits a week in which Italiano must balance the Hoffenheim trip against the Trabzonspor away game four days later. The expectation is one reporter's, not a confirmed team sheet, so it should be read as a rotation indicator rather than a fixed selection.
- Ertan Süzgün said on 12 October 2026 that he expects Ernest Poku to start against Hoffenheim.
