TSG Hoffenheim come into this with a run of results that suggests they can score, but they have also been open at the back, which keeps the game live for both sides. Their recent 3-3 draw with VfB Stuttgart and 2-2 draw at FC Augsburg point to a match where chances are likely at both ends, especially with no xG data to lean on for a more precise edge. Werder Bremen have been less consistent overall, but they did beat Hamburger SV 3-1 and draw 1-1 at VfB Stuttgart, so they are capable of making this awkward.
The head-to-head record also leans towards goals, with four of the last five meetings producing at least three goals and TSG Hoffenheim winning three of those five. Werder Bremen’s recent home loss to FC Augsburg and Hoffenheim’s ability to take points against stronger opposition suggest the visitors may need to be efficient rather than dominant. Match Prediction: TSG Hoffenheim 2-1 Werder Bremen
Form Guide & Team Overview
TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim’s recent league form has been lively, with two wins, two draws and one defeat across their last five. They have scored in every one of those matches, including a 3-3 draw with VfB Stuttgart and 2-1 wins over Hamburger SV and Borussia Dortmund.
The concern is that they have also conceded in all five, which keeps their results tight and makes clean sheets hard to trust. Even so, the balance of scoring and resilience in key moments suggests they are arriving in decent enough shape for a home fixture.

Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen’s recent league form has been mixed, with one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five. Their best result in that run was the 3-1 home win over Hamburger SV, while the 1-1 draw at VfB Stuttgart shows they can compete away from home.
The issue is that they have conceded at least once in every one of those five matches, and three of them ended in defeat. That leaves them needing a more controlled performance if they are to get anything from this trip.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
TSG Hoffenheim (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Oliver Baumann (Goalkeeper), Albian Hajdari (Defender), Bernardo (Defender), Ozan Kabak (Defender), Vladimír Coufal (Defender), Andrej Kramaric (Midfielder), Bazoumana Touré (Midfielder), Fisnik Asllani (Midfielder), Leon Avdullahu (Midfielder), Wouter Burger (Midfielder), Tim Lemperle (Attacker)
TSG Hoffenheim’s predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a clear central reference in Tim Lemperle, with Andrej Kramaric and the wider midfield able to support him between the lines. The double pivot should help them keep some structure behind the ball, but the shape still looks geared towards getting numbers around the box quickly.
Werder Bremen (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Mio Backhaus (Goalkeeper), Amos Pieper (Defender), Karim Coulibaly (Defender), Marco Friedl (Defender), Cameron Puertas (Midfielder), Olivier Deman (Midfielder), Senne Lynen (Midfielder), Yukinari Sugawara (Midfielder), Jens Stage (Attacker), Jovan Milosevic (Attacker), Romano Schmid (Attacker)
Werder Bremen’s predicted 3-4-2-1 should give them width from the wing-backs and a compact base of three centre-backs behind the ball. With Jens Stage operating high up the pitch, they can look to connect midfield and attack quickly, but the shape will need discipline if Hoffenheim start moving the ball through the middle.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| TSG Hoffenheim | Werder Bremen | Text |
|---|---|---|
| TSG Hoffenheim | Werder Bremen | Tim Lemperle against Amos Pieper could be decisive if Hoffenheim can get Lemperle running in behind the back line. |
| TSG Hoffenheim | Werder Bremen | Andrej Kramaric against Cameron Puertas looks important because Kramaric’s link play can pull Bremen’s midfield shape out of position. |
| TSG Hoffenheim | Werder Bremen | Tim Lemperle is key for TSG Hoffenheim because he gives them a direct attacking outlet and has been part of their recent scoring run. |
| TSG Hoffenheim | Werder Bremen | Jens Stage is key for Werder Bremen because he offers a forward threat from midfield and can help turn their 3-4-2-1 into a more dangerous attacking unit. |
