Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim Prediction

Werder Bremen Form

Werder Bremen are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against FC Heidenheim by a 4-2 score, before winning 2-1 against FC Koln. They were back on the losing side in a 4-2 defeat against Darmstadt. Werder Bremen managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored nine and conceded ten goals.

Werder Bremen naturally hope for a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim Form

In the last three matches, Hoffenheim beat FC Koln 1-3, won 0-2 against Union Berlin, and lost 1-3 against B. Dortmund. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, Hoffenheim have three wins, they've drawn one and lost one two. They scored ten while also conceding seven times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Hoffenheim might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Bundesliga looks the most realistic scenario.

The two teams rate more or less equal at the bookies, but in current form, and with Werder Bremen looking a little out of sorts, Hoffenheim no doubt offers the value bet here.

Werder Bremen fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last one games against teams inside the top six. They were on target zero times in these matches, but also let in four goals. Werder Bremen are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording two wins and four defeats in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim show off four wins, zero draws and two defeats in the Bundesliga.
