Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 27th January 2026

Werder Bremen welcome Hoffenheim on Tuesday in the Bundesliga, with the host motivated by the possibility of closing the gap in the table on the visitors. On the other hand, the latter could distance themselves even further with a win in this exciting round 16 match.

Werder Bremen are placed tenth with 17 points after 15 matches. Hoffenheim occupy a position as fiveth in the league on 27 points.

Werder Bremen are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Hoffenheim but odds don't favour them to pull it off.

Werder Bremen go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of one per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane ten times, while conceding 14. That amounts to an average of 1.4 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Hoffenheim scored 20 goals, conceded nine and held on for a clean sheet in three of their last ten matches.

Werder Bremen lost to 1-3 Hoffenheim in their last encounter. This served as payback for the 4-3 win, which Werder Bremen dished out the match before that.
