Werder Bremen vs TSG 1899 Hoffenheim: Match Prediction
Werder Bremen do not always perform at their best in attack at home, and the side's goalscoring is not at a high level. In their last 11 Bundesliga home matches the club have managed to score more than one goal only three times, and in four cases Werder Bremen failed to score at all. At the same time only four times in the previous 12 home league meetings did the home side concede a maximum of one goal and, including that, they kept a clean sheet in six matches.
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim were very effective in creation for a long time even away from home, however in recent matches the visitors have noticeably dropped in that component. In the previous four away Bundesliga matches Christian Ilzer's side have sent just four goals into opponents' nets, and those matches were against Mainz, who sit at the bottom of the standings, and Eintracht Frankfurt, who have the worst defence in the current championship. At the same time the club are reasonably reliable defensively: in the last seven away league matches Hoffenheim have conceded a total of only seven goals.
Prediction: Under 3.5 goals
