Werder Bremen hold the stronger home record and sit 3 points above 1899 Hoffenheim, while both teams arrive with notable absences and contrasting seven-match form sequences.
Before kickoff
Can Füllkrug’s 8 goals drive Werder’s stronger platform?
Werder Bremen have the firmer evidence before kickoff: their home record is 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, while 1899 Hoffenheim’s away record is 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses. N. Füllkrug is the clearest individual goal threat, with 8 goals in 7 appearances for Werder Bremen this league season.
Home scoring against an exposed away defence
Werder have scored 8 goals in home games, averaging 2.70 per home game, but have conceded 5 and kept 0 clean sheets. Hoffenheim have scored 5 goals away, averaging 1.70 per away game, while conceding 7 at an average of 2.30. Both sides therefore bring a route to goal, but neither has recorded a clean sheet in the relevant venue split.
Form and provisional Bundesliga stakes
Across the 7 most recent matches listed, Werder’s sequence is loss, win, draw, win, draw, draw, win. Hoffenheim’s is loss, loss, win, loss, loss, win, win. In the provisional standings, Werder are ranked #6 with 12 points from 7 games, while Hoffenheim are ranked #10 with 9 points from 7 games. Bayern München lead with 17 points; Werder trail by 5 and Hoffenheim by 8.
Werder will be without F. Agu, S. Alvero, S. Musah, J. Njinmah, J. Stage and K. Topp. O. Deman, M. N’Diaye and N. Stark are questionable. Hoffenheim are missing N. De Cat, A. Hajdari, A. Prass and P. Wimmer, while Bernardo, B. Conte and V. Gendrey are questionable.
Question for kickoff
Can Hoffenheim’s away attack exploit a Werder defence that has kept 0 home clean sheets, or will Füllkrug’s 8-goal output decide the attacking contest?
