Werder Bremen vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

• Werder Bremen have gone eight Bundesliga matches without a win
• Hoffenheim have won nine and lost only one of their last 12 Bundesliga games
• Werder have conceded three or more goals in four of their last six games

Hoffenheim continuing to surprise

Hoffenheim are this season’s surprise packages in the Bundesliga, with Saturday’s 3-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt – their third victory on the bounce – consolidating third-place in the standings.

Christian Ilzer’s side have lost only one of their last 12 matches, winning nine of those games, while their only away defeat of the season was a 2-0 reverse at Borussia Dortmund in early December.

Bremen in contrasting form

If Hoffenheim are flying, Werder Breme are certainly not, as Horst Steffen’s side are on an eight-match winless run and have conceded seven goals across their last two home games against Stuttgart (4-0) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-3).

Werder are without a victory of any note since November and they do not have fond memories of when they last faced Hoffenheim, with Tuesday’s visitors triumphing 3-1 on their most recent trip to the Weserstadion in February.

Hoffenheim were also 3-1 winners at Frankfurt on Saturday and are averaging three goals-per-game across their last three fixtures, and with Werder conceding plenty, this could prove another high-scoring success for the Sinsheim-based club.
