Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting tips
On 16 Matchday of the Bundesliga SV Werder Bremen receives on Wednesday evening in the Weserstadion TSG Hoffenheim. The Green-Whites have taken only four out of 21 possible points from their last seven games. After losing just one of the first eight games of the season, there have been five bankruptcies in the last seven games. Thus, the Bremen slipped to ninth place from the table. Nevertheless, the gap to the first European Cup, currently occupied by Hoffenheim, only two counters. The Hoffenheimers are on the one hand for eight league games without defeat. On the other hand, the Kraichgauer wait for four league games and a total of six competitive matches on a win and last played four consecutive draw.
Previously, Hoffenheim was the favorite opponent of Werder. Of the first 18 duels Bremer had lost only one. But for five league games SVW could not win against the TSG. The overall balance still looks good for green and white: with eleven wins, eight draws and only three defeats, the North Germans are clearly ahead.
Werder Bremen:
Werder had to start on Saturday evening at the still undefeated league leaders Borussia Dortmund. The Green-Whites had always great problems when the BVB switched quickly and played with direct passes towards goal. But even after the 0: 2 Werder continued to play bravely and came through Kruse even before the break to connect. With high possession shares held the SVW the game to the end open. Unlike other teams, the Bremen in Dortmund did not put in the intent to prevent a debacle behind in Dortmund. So Florian Kohfeldt was noticeably satisfied despite the defeat. This shows how much one believes in the way the Green-Whites behave under coach Kohfeldt.
In the Hanseatic city, for example, the game with the league leaders was recorded as a further step on the way back to the top team. So mistakes as the standard to 0: 1, when only a part of the team played on the sidelines, but you have to turn off. Now you meet until the winter break with Hoffenheim and Leipzig still on two other high-carats. Werder has conceded at home 15 goals, which is the negative value throughout the League. The hosts must definitely do without Kapino, Jacobsen, Veljkovic, Bargfrede, Bartels and Johannsson. The use of Davy Klaassen is still uncertain. After a rescue action against BVB, the Dutchman crashed into the goalpost and retired with heavy shin bruising.
Hoffenheim:
After the end of the European Cup last week at Manchester City Hoffenheim had to go at home against Borussia from Mönchengladbach at the weekend. In contrast to the premier class, the coach put this time again on a triple-defense chain. The home side began with a very aggressive pressing and let the offensive of the foals never come to fruition. Schulz on the left and Bittencourt in the lead caused much danger with excessive numbers. On the defensive TSG was aggressive and concentrated. The superiority of the Kraichgauer in the final phase became particularly clear. The eleven of Julian Nagelsmann tied the guests in their own half and came to numerous good opportunities. But as before, Hoffenheim again had a problem with the use of opportunities. In the end, TSG had to settle for a 0-0 and a point.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann spoke after the game of the best season performance, if not the best performance in his term. But the result did not match the performance. Again the Kraichgauer points were left. But you have to continue exactly like that. Then you will also enter victories again. Away, the Kraichgauer have scored 17 goals, which is the second best value in the league behind Bayern. Hoffenheim must compete without Nordtveit, Otto and Rupp in Bremen.
