Werder Bremen - Hoffenheim predictions

Though Werder Bremen are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Hoffenheim seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.75, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Werder Bremen played their previous league match as huge underdogs but their supporters hoped for a positive result after seeing their team holding on for a draw in the first half. Unfortunately, Werder Bremen ran out of steam after the break, which resulted in a devastating Bayern München defeat.

The previous round of the Bundesliga featured a matchup between Hoffenheim and Union Berlin – two squads of comparable skill, according to the betting odds. However, Union Berlin were already ahead 45 minutes in despite playing as the visitors, and ended up winning 0:4

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

The hosts will be trying to move further up the standings, that much is clear. They’re 5 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot, so this matchup is a great opportunity to close that gap.

Werder Bremen already won against Hoffenheim this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Umut Tohumcu, Ihlas Bebou, Anton Stach, Ozan Kabak, Lúkas Petersson, Haris Tabakovic, Valentin Gendrey, Christopher Lenz. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 1 odds offered at 1xbet are more than fair in terms of value.
