Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim Prediction 02.04.2023

• Competition: Germany - Bundesliga
• Date: Sunday, 2nd, April 2023
• Kickoff: 16:30 UK/17.30 CEST
• Venue: Weserstadion (Bremen)

Eight rounds before the end of the Bundesliga, it is almost certain that Werder Bremen will welcome for the season finale without realistic competitive ambitions. They are far from the relegation zone, but also a visa to appearance on the European stage in the coming autumn. Admittedly, Die Werderaner were not even expected to fight for the latter, considering that they arrived from the Zwiete Bundesliga. Basically, the club from Bremen is currently in a respectable 11th position with 31 points won - nine points less than the European places and ten more than the first most threatened team.

Hoffenheim, which was a pleasant surprise in the Bundesliga in recent years (they even reached the UEFA Champions League in the 2018/19 season, and participated in the UEFA Europa League the year before), left a very weak impression in the course of the German championship so far. The team from the "Rhein-Neckar-Arena" managed to grab a miserable 22 points from 25 rounds, which leaves them in a disappointing 15th place in the table with just a point above the relegation zone, so it is increasingly certain that they will fight for survival if they do not improve their results in the following period.

Maybe Werder Bremen did not shine in the first meeting of the current season against Hoffenheim, but they were able to use their chances in the best possible way and turn them into a 2-1 victory at the "Rhein-Neckar-Arena". Looking at tradition, the second duel should bring us much more exciting and effective football on Sunday.

What mainly characterizes the previous duels between these rivals, played at the "Weserstadion", are high-scoring affairs and nets full of goals. Namely, in 10 of the previous 11 meetings of the mentioned teams, we had the opportunity to see goals in both nets, and there is every opportunity to continue the tradition this time as well.

The defensive line of the club from Bremen is terrible and in other words it is impossible to describe. This is also confirmed by the data that their defense capitulated an incredible 48 times and only Bochum (56) is worse than them in that segment. What's more, they have conceded 2+ goals in five of their last six Bundesliga challenges.

Most of the credit for their current carefree position (ten points above the danger zone) goes to the account of the killer attacking tandem of Niclas Fullkrug and Marvin Ducksch. Believe it or not, the pair was involved in 29 of Werder's 39 goals this season and there is no doubt that they are the best attacking duo in the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim, who started the season with four triumphs from the opening six rounds and at one point occupied 4th place in the Bundesliga, unexpectedly fell. They were especially terrible in 2023. The victory over Hertha (3-1) just before the international break was is only their first a black streak of eight defeats and one draw.

The back line of The Blues is as hollow as Swiss cheese, and the best confirmation of that is that they last registered a clean sheet in mid-October (vs Schalke / 3-0). Thus, goalkeeper Oliver Baumann has taken the ball out of his own net in each of the previous 16 competitive games. However, Hoffenheim must wake up because the end of the season is approaching, so here we are of the opinion that both teams will find a way to the goal.
