- Venue: Weserstadion
Werder Bremen return to home soil on Tuesday night knowing the margin for error is shrinking fast. Survival is once again the target, but this time it feels less comfortable. Hoffenheim arrive from the opposite end of the table, sitting third and chasing something special. There is an 18-point gap between them, yet the odds are oddly cautious. Once you dig into the details, it starts to make sense.

Bundesliga
Since 2020, these sides have met nine times in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim hold the edge with six wins, although clean sheets have been rare. Werder have taken two victories, with one draw mixed in. Games between these two usually open up. The average sits at 3.22 goals.
Werder Bremen team overview
Since coming back up in 2022, Bremen have mostly looked steady. Mid-table finishes and little drama. This season, however, has felt different. The River Islanders sit 15th with just 18 points, and the form is troubling.
Eight league games without a win. Five defeats. Goals have dried up too, with blanks in four of the last five and six conceded across the last two.
Still, Weserstadion matters. Twelve of their 18 points have come at home, which gives this fixture a different feel.
Jens Stage leads the scoring with six league goals and remains central to whatever hopes Bremen still have. Injuries continue to bite, though. Victor Boniface stays out, joined by Mitchell Weiser, Felix Agu, Maximilian Wöber and Niklas Stark.

Hoffenheim team overview
Hoffenheim are quietly putting together a season their fans will remember. Third place at this stage would match their best-ever Bundesliga finish from 2017-18.
Since losing to Dortmund in December, Die Kraichgauer have gone five games unbeaten across competitions, winning four and keeping two clean sheets.
Away form is the one concern. Just one win in the last four league trips suggests vulnerability. Up front, Fisnik Asllani leads the way with seven goals in all competitions, expected to partner Max Moerstedt.
Injuries rule out Koki Machida, Kelven Frees, Adam Hlozek and Cole Campbell.

Prediction
This has the look of another open meeting between these two. Seven straight H2Hs cleared the 2.5 line, and Bremen tend to score more freely at Weserstadion. Hoffenheim arrive in strong overall form but remain inconsistent away. Goals on both sides feel likely, with neither defence convincing enough to shut the door. A 2–2 draw fits.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Each of the last seven meetings between Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Three of the last five games of Hoffenheim produced at least four goals.
- Four of the last six Bundesliga games of Werder Bremen produced over 2.5 goals.
