Football tips today, 27 Jan 2026: Analysis of two top picks and today's match schedule featuring De Gea's team.
On 27 January 2026, today's football tips highlight two interesting international competitions: the German Bundesliga and Italy's Coppa Italia knockout tournament, with the following analysis and insights.
- German Bundesliga / Kickoff at 02:30 Thai time
The home team, "The Seagulls," are in a steep decline, winless in their last 8 matches (5 losses, 3 draws), including 3 recent home games with 2 draws and 1 loss, scoring 4 goals but conceding 8. The squad is also weakened, potentially missing 9 players due to injury. Their hopes rest on top scorers Jens Stage, a midfielder with 6 goals, and forward Justin Njinmah with 4 goals.
However, facing Hoffenheim at this time is tough. In their last 10 games, Hoffenheim have won 7, drawn 2, and lost only once to Borussia Dortmund, second place, firmly contending for a UEFA Champions League spot. Their attack is strong, with three players scoring 6 goals each: Fisnik Asllani, Andrej Kramaric, and Tim Lemperle. Their defense is solid as well, conceding only 3 goals in the last 5 matches. Overall, the visitors seem set to continue their strong form.
Insight : Hoffenheim looks stronger.
- Coppa Italia Round of 16 / Kickoff at 03:00 Thai time
"The Violets," with former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, have turned from UEFA Conference League runners-up in 2 of the last 3 seasons to battling relegation in Serie A. Despite some improvement over the last 7 matches (3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses), they remain 18th. Key striker Moise Kean is still out with an ankle injury, and they lost Edin Dzeko to Schalke 04. On the plus side, they have gained Manor Solomon (from Tottenham) and Jack Harrison (Leeds United).
Meanwhile, Como is surging, currently 6th in Serie A and just 3 points from the Champions League spots. In their last 7 matches, they've lost only to AC Milan (with 5 wins and 1 draw). Although coach Cesc Fabregas may rest two main scorers, Anastasios Douvikas (11 goals) and Nico Paz (8 goals), Jayden Adai (3 goals) is fit to play alongside Martin Baturina (4 goals). Como is likely to have the upper hand over Fiorentina, who may be focusing more on league survival.
Insight : Como looks more polished and confident than Fiorentina.
