Werder Bremen vs TSG Hoffenheim Game Preview

Werder Bremen welcome TSG Hoffenheim to the Weserstadion for a Bundesliga matchup between two attacks that rarely take a week off, and both arrive nursing midweek DFB-Pokal exits.

Bremen are undefeated in their last 6 Bundesliga games, even if a Niclas Füllkrug brace could not keep them alive in the DFB-Pokal at Borussia Dortmund.

Hoffenheim beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in their last league outing, but Wednesday brought a DFB-Pokal exit on penalties against second-tier Holstein Kiel.

The head-to-head leans toward the visitors. Hoffenheim have won their last 6 away games against Werder Bremen in all competitions, so Bremen have something to prove at home.

Werder Bremen vs TSG Hoffenheim Recent Results

Bremen's league run is built on goals at both ends. They have conceded at least twice in all 4 of their latest Bundesliga outings. Over 2.5 goals have also landed in 6 of Bremen's last 7 league games. Füllkrug grabbed a brace at Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal, but the defense let them down again in a narrow exit.

Their games have been just as open, with each of Hoffenheim's last 8 Bundesliga games clearing 2.5 goals. The Leverkusen win cost them Alexander Prass to a red card, and their three-game winning streak ended in the DFB-Pokal shootout loss to Holstein Kiel. Scoring is not the worry for this group. Holding on to leads is.

Werder Bremen vs TSG Hoffenheim Talking Points

Bremen head coach Daniel Thioune pointed out that Hoffenheim have registered more high-intensity sprints and shots on goal than any Bundesliga team this season except Bayern Munich. That energy runs straight at Bremen's soft spots, defending attacks down the wings and defending set pieces, against a Hoffenheim side that crosses often and wins aerial duels. Bremen's answer is Füllkrug and a real knack for coming back from losing positions, and the market has sided with the hosts, with Bremen's moneyline shortening since opening while Hoffenheim's has drifted.
