Paulo Fonseca is the coach of Olympique Lyonnais and guides the team on the trip to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's ground in Sinsheim. The match takes place in the context of the league phase of the Europa League, where eight matches are at stake in this round of the competition.

The article title suggests this match represents a test for Fonseca's work in charge of Lyon. The French team thus faces a difficult trip to Germany to face Hoffenheim.

The match is part of the Europa League league phase, the new competition format that replaced the previous group stage, where teams play against eight opponents instead of being divided into traditional groups.
