Hoffenheim vs Werder Bremen Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 29th September 2024

Hoffenheim enjoy home advantage, when visitors Werder Bremen swing by this coming Sunday for a clash in the Bundesliga. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

A look at the Bundesliga standings shows that two points and four places currently separate the two teams.

Hoffenheim find themselves as number 15 in the league table with three points from their initial four matches this campaign. As number 11, two points above them, Werder Bremen have played four rounds this season.

The two sides seem evenly matched, but Hoffenheim can leapfrog Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga table with a win this coming Sunday. They will, of course, be extremely eager to do just that, the question is, how will the visitors respond to the threat?

Hoffenheim show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 2.4 goals on average per match. That makes a total of 24 goals, whilst they allowed 24 goals against, for an average of 2.4 per outing. They pulled off one clean sheets.

Werder Bremen scored 16 goals, conceded 18 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Hoffenheim go into their encounter with fond memories, as they won 3-2 and 2-1 the last two times they played Werder Bremen.

Hoffenheim vs Werder Bremen Prediction

Hoffenheim Form

A single draw is all Hoffenheim have to show from their last three games, where they came up short, losing 1-4 and 2-1 against Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation with a 1-1 against FC Midtjylland. Hoffenheim won four of their previous six Bundesliga games at the PreZero Arena. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded 13 and scored 16 goals.

Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario Hoffenheim hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.

Werder Bremen Form

Werder Bremen have a win and a draw to show from their last three matches. They first finished even in a 0-0 draw with Borussia Dortmund, before they won a game against Mainz 05 with a 1-2 scoreline. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 0-5 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich. Werder Bremen claimed two wins against three draws and one defeat in their last six away matches in the Bundesliga. The scoreline from these matches reads ten goals conceded and nine scored.

Finishing inside the top half is the bare minimum Hoffenheim expect for this season, but the ideal target is a spot in an international competition.

Hoffenheim go into their match at PreZero Arena as favourites with the bookies, but form has been too shabby for us to back that claim. We prefer a bet on Werder Bremen, while the more cautious punter might prefer the double-chance.
