Hoffenheim v Tottenham postponement latest as severe weather freezes Germany
Hoffenheim versus Tottenham could be affected by icy conditions but is unlikely to be postponed, according to Deutscher Wetterdienst.
Spurs will travel to the PreZero Arena on Thursday (23 January) eager to return to winning ways as “unacceptable” results in the Premier League leave Ange Postecoglou fighting for his life in North London [Sky Sports].
The German meteorological service reported the latest weather warnings on Tuesday (21 January), with a low-level warning for icy conditions, frost, and fog, but it is expected to clear by 10am on Wednesday morning (22 January).
Tottenham will face Hoffenheim in the Europa League
Postecoglou must return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the three points, or he could be dismissed from his role before the plane touches down at Heathrow.
After 12 losses already this term, the Lilywhites are closer to the relegation zone than they are to the European places in the Premier League.
Everton scored three goals in the first half of the 3-2 loss at Goodison Park on Sunday (19 January) to move only four points behind Spurs with a game in hand.
Indeed, a challenge on Son Heung-min was wrongly deemed acceptable on Merseyside, but if the visitors had been awarded a penalty, the resulting draw is still not what Postecoglou needed to alleviate the growing pressure on his shoulders.
Furthermore, Tottenham are performing well below expectations in the Europa League with automatic qualification, once deemed a guarantee, now uncertain with only two league phase fixtures left to play.
Hoffenheim has only one win in the competition this year to show for their efforts and is fighting for a spot in the top 24, but Spurs have proven time and time again this season that they are capable of losing matches when being deemed the overwhelming favourites—another loss will surely be the end of Postecoglou.
