Werder Bremen – 1899 Hoffenheim

At the Weserstadion, Werder Bremen will look to consolidate their eighth‑place standing, having collected nine points from two wins, three draws and a single loss while netting twelve and conceding the same number of goals. Their opponents, 1899 Hoffenheim, sit 14th with six points after two victories and four defeats, scoring eleven and letting in fourteen. The clash pits a side with a modest positive goal balance against a team struggling defensively, and Bremen will aim to turn their home advantage into three valuable points.
