H2H: Werder Bremen vs TSG Hoffenheim – Score Prediction (Bundesliga

H2H: Bremen vs Hoffenheim Comparison.

Niclas Füllkrug’s last five goals for Bremen – including four this campaign – have come before the 60th minute. In the absence of top scorer Andrej Kramarić, Mu’nas Dabbur will be in focus – Dabbur scored midweek in the Europa League and four of his last nine competitive Hoffenheim goals have come in stoppage time (either half). Seventeen of the last 20 league H2Hs (any venue) have seen both teams score.

Bremen Insights.

With Werder Bremen winning just three home Bundesliga games since the start of last season (D3, L13) and Hoffenheim claiming the majority of their league points on the road in that time (H:25/A:33), the spectre of an away win looms large in this match. That’s further backed up by Bremen’s inability to beat Hoffenheim in six league H2Hs at home (D4, L2), while just three home Bundesliga wins (in 18 games) at any venue (by either side) have been achieved in this H2H since January 2011. Hoping to buck that trend, Bremen are unbeaten in three league games this season (W2, D1) as they look to record back-to-back home league wins for the first time since March/April 2019. They might need to score first to achieve that however, with no side coming back to win in the league after conceding first at the Weserstadion since March 8, 2019 – a run of 22 games.

Hoffenheim Insights.

Back-to-back league defeats to a decisive goal scored after the 70th minute mean Hoffenheim come into this match with a split record this season (W2, L2). Subsequently, they now face the prospect of losing three Bundesliga games in a row (within a single season) for the first time since April 2015. Hoffenheim’s away defeat in Round 3 was their first away reversal in nine league games (W4, D4, L1), and means they now have just a 20% win rate as an away Bundesliga favourite since the start of last season (W1, D2, L2) – a tag they carry into this game.
