WWDDWL

Since a losing effort in their last game against Bayern Munich in Bundesliga 1 action, Werder Bremen and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Werder Bremen managed 30% possession and 0 attempts on goal with 0 on target. Bayern Munich had 25 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Michael Olise (23', 60'), Jamal Musiala (32'), Harry Kane (57') and Serge Gnabry (65') scored for Bayern Munich.

Illustrating their appetite for eventful encounters, goals have been celebrated 21 times in the prior 6 matches in which Werder Bremen have played, yielding a mean average of 3.5 goals per clash. Opposition teams have hit 10 of those goals. Let’s see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Coming into this meeting, Werder Bremen are unbeaten in their previous 4 away league matches.

📰 Team News: Hoffenheim

It’s our opinion that Hoffenheim will possibly employ a 3-4-2-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Oliver Baumann, Kevin Akpoguma, Florian Grillitsch, Stanley N'Soki, Pavel Kaderabek, Alexander Prass, Tom Bischof, Umut Tohumcu, Adam Hlozek, Marius Buelter and Mergim Berisha.

📋 Team News: Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen manager Ole Werner has a number of players out of action. Milos Veljkovic (Foot injury), Abdenego Nankishi (Ankle injury) and Justin Njinmah (Ligament injury) can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Werder appear most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 formation, going with Michael Zetterer, Julian Malatini, Niklas Stark, Anthony Jung, Felix Agu, Romano Schmid, Senne Lynen, Jens Stage, Derrick Koehn, Marvin Ducksch and Mitchell Weiser.

✨ Prediction

It looks to us like Werder Bremen will need to be at their best to find the back of the net against a Hoffenheim lineup who certainly have the ability to really boss this match.

We’re going for a very comfortable 3-0 win for Hoffenheim at the end of this one.
