Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim Match Preview

In the previous round, Werder Bremen took a great away win, 1-0 over Fortuna Dusseldorf. With this victory, they ended their bad streak of four consecutive defeats, while they kept a clean sheet for the first time after 17 Bundesliga games this season.

Werder Bremen has the worst home performances in the league. With just one win in 8 games (1-2-5) so far, the team has a lot to change in order to not find themselves in the relegation zone at the end of the season.

Newcomer K. Vogt, had a solid performance in his first appearance as a central defender, but unfortunately, he got injured and is extremely doubtful to be available tonight. The captain of the team N. Moisander is also due to suspension, a key player in their defensive line.

Hoffenheim could have taken a positive result in Frankfurt, but unfortunately, they couldn't avoid the 2-1 defeat to Eintracht. This was their fourth defeat in the last seven rounds, something that needs to change in order to remain close at the top-6 of the table. 

Hoffenheim performs much better on the road than in front of their fans, having a decent record 4-2-2, while they have conceded the less away goals in the Bundesliga, 9 in total.

P. Pentke continues between the sticks for Hoffenheim, as first-choice goalkeeper O. Baumann remains injured, alongside striker I. Belfodil.

I have to disagree with Werder Bremen's to be offered as the favorites here. Hoffenheim is dangerous and competitive on every away game and their record shows that too. Moreover, they have scored at least one goal in their last 12 away games in the Bundesliga. The away win DNB is my call in this one.
