Crystal Palace and 1899 Hoffenheim finished 1–1 in their UEFA Europa League meeting on Thursday, 5 November 2026. The final result was recorded by BetLogic at Selhurst Park. The contest is now reported as a completed European fixture rather than an upcoming match.

Both teams took one point from the match. This report uses the recorded events, statistics and team data from the BetLogic match centre. It does not treat pre-match expectations or provisional selection information as evidence of what happened after kick-off.

How the goals were scored

The match timeline identifies 2 scoring incident(s). At 7', Alexander Prass scored for 1899 Hoffenheim. Tim Lemperle is credited with the assist. At 90+1', Daichi Kamada scored for Crystal Palace. These minutes and player details come directly from the match's Events tab rather than being reconstructed from the final score.

The Events tab also records 1 dismissal-related card incident(s): Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace) at 77'. There are also 8 substitution event(s) in the timeline. The event chronology provides a record of disciplinary decisions and personnel changes, although the feed alone does not establish a tactical explanation for every incident.

Match statistics and the balance of play

The BetLogic Stats tab supplies a numerical comparison of the two teams. Among the available indicators, the recorded figures include Ball Possession: Crystal Palace 54%, 1899 Hoffenheim 46%; Total Shots: Crystal Palace 13, 1899 Hoffenheim 15; Shots on Goal: Crystal Palace 5, 1899 Hoffenheim 5; Shots off Goal: Crystal Palace 5, 1899 Hoffenheim 5. These values show the activity logged during the match without turning any one metric into an unsupported explanation for the result.

The table below uses the original metric labels and values returned by BetLogic. Missing statistics are excluded rather than estimated. This preserves the distinction between measurements provided by the match-data service and interpretations that would require additional evidence.

Recent form, head-to-head and standings

The Form tab adds context from the recorded recent fixtures. Crystal Palace: 5 recorded matches: 1 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. 1899 Hoffenheim: 5 recorded matches: 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 losses. These figures describe the available sample at the time of this article update; they should not be mistaken for a frozen pre-match record unless explicitly labelled as such.

The H2H tab lists 1 recorded meetings in its returned sample. At the time of this read, the Standings tab lists Crystal Palace in position 18 on 5 points and 1899 Hoffenheim in position 20 on 4 points. League positions and recent-form records can refresh after matches, so the figures here reflect the returned match-page data rather than an independently reconstructed table.

What the result means

The draw gives both clubs one point from this Europa League fixture. Its effect on qualification depends on the results of the remaining league-phase games and other clubs' positions, rather than the score alone.

BetLogic labels its pre-match prediction as landed. That is a retrospective model-tracking result, not a claim about the teams' overall performances. Readers can examine the original match timeline, starting teams and statistics in the BetLogic match centre. Further verified corrections should update this same article, preserving its existing canonical URL and original publication date.
