Hoffenheim vs Werder Bremen Prediction 29 Sep 2024

⚽ Bundesliga - Round 5 Preview

📅 29 Sep 2024

⏰ 16:30 GMT +1

🏟 PreZero Arena (Sinsheim)

Sunday’s Bundesliga match concludes with a potentially close contest between Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen, who are separated by just two points in the standings. Hoffenheim (W1, L3) has scored in every league match this season but has struggled to secure points since their opening victory against Holstein Kiel. They face the challenge of returning home after a midweek Europa League fixture in Denmark. However, the return to PreZero Arena might provide a boost, as they have not lost consecutive home league games since November 2023. Despite a heavy 4-1 defeat in their last home outing, Hoffenheim has generally been resilient at home, scoring in most of their recent matches, though they haven’t kept a clean sheet at home since April 2023, suggesting a high-scoring encounter is possible.

Werder Bremen has exceeded expectations, suffering only one defeat (W1, D2) despite entering each match as underdogs. However, their recent form took a hit with a heavy 5-0 loss to Bayern Munich last weekend, marking their second such defeat this year. They have struggled against Hoffenheim under manager Pellegrino Matarazzo, failing to secure a win in six encounters (D1, L5), although they have managed to score in five of those games. On a more positive note, Bremen has been solid away from home, going unbeaten in their last four league matches on the road (W2, D2), and another unbeaten game would match their best away run in Bundesliga action since 2019.
