Werder Bremen vs. Hoffenheim: Match Prediction
Werder Bremen has struggled against Hoffenheim at home, failing to win in 9 consecutive head-to-head league encounters (5 draws, 4 losses). However, the upcoming match presents a good opportunity for Werder to break this trend. Hoffenheim is in crisis, having secured only one away win in the Bundesliga 2024/25 season (4 draws, 5 losses). Ole Werner's team has not lost in 6 of their last 7 home matches in this tournament, claiming 3 victories. Additionally, the first-round match against Hoffenheim likely boosted Werder's confidence, as they came back from 0-3 to snatch all three points.
In the last round, Hoffenheim allowed the least prolific team in the league at that time to score four goals. Meanwhile, Ole Werner's side ranks second in goals scored among the lower half of the standings, having scored at least twice in 5 of their last 7 Bundesliga home matches.
I believe the hosts will earn points in a high-scoring encounter, so my prediction: Werder Bremen will not lose and Total over 2.5 goals
