It has been seldom in recent times that Hoffenheim have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Hoffenheim have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 10 goals during that time.

- are unbeaten in the league by Werder Bremen in their previous 2 matches.
- have not won at home in their last 4 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.

📰 Team News: Hoffenheim
Mergim Berisha (Cruciate ligament tear), Grischa Prömel (Inner ligament injury), Marco John (Cruciate ligament tear), Robert Skov (Hamstring injury) and Kevin Akpoguma (Back problems) won’t be available for Hoffenheim gaffer Pellegrino Matarazzo.
It seems likely that Hoffenheim look set to use the 3-4-1-2 formation for this one featuring Oliver Baumann, Ozan Kabak, Florian Grillitsch, Stanley N'Soki, Pavel Kaderabek, David Jurasek, Anton Stach, Umut Tohumcu, Ihlas Bebou, Wout Weghorst and Maximilian Beier.
📰 Team News: Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen boss Ole Werner has some current player fitness concerns. Marco Friedl (Syndesmotic ligament tear), Leon Opitz (Ankle injury), Amos Pieper (Broken ankle), Niklas Stark (Hip injury), Isak Hansen-Aarøen (Torn muscle fiber) and Milos Veljkovic (Knee injury) miss out here.
We believe Werder seem most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 formation by sending out Michael Zetterer, Julian Malatini, Christian Gross, Anthony Jung, Mitchell Weiser, Romano Schmid, Senne Lynen, Jens Stage, Felix Agu, Justin Njinmah and Marvin Ducksch.
⚡ Prediction _OVER 2.5 GOALS
For this match, we think that Hoffenheim will, in all likelihood, stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
In contrast, Werder Bremen may well find it hard finding the net themselves - but, we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet here.
Therefore, we are anticipating a comfortable 3-1 win for Hoffenheim after 90 minutes.
