TSG Hoffenheim vs Werder Bremen Predictions

• Each of Hoffenheim’s six games this season have seen both teams score
• Both teams have netted in three of Werder Bremen’s five outings so far
• The visitors have also only kept one clean sheet in five attempts

Hoffenheim searching for form

It has been a disappointing start to the season for Hoffenheim, who head into this match on the back of three successive league victories and a 1-1 draw against Midtjylland in the Europa League.

The latter of those results was their sixth game of the campaign, and it is a concern that they are yet to keep a clean sheet in those half a dozen outings, with both teams scoring on each occasion.

That does at least highlight at Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side are strong going forward, but the fact is they have the second worst defence in the Bundesliga ahead of this round, already conceding 11 times!

Werder hoping to bounce back

That is good news for Werder Bremen, who have only scored four times in as may league outings, while they were thrashed 5-0 by Bayern Munich last time out.

The River Islanders have generally had a good start to the campaign though picking up five points so far, with other results including a 2-1 success at Mainz and 2-2 stalemate with Augsburg.

Indeed, they have have actually only kept one clean sheet in five attempts across all competitions, with three of those matches seeing both teams score.

I expect both teams to score in this game too, so that is my initial selection, with a 2-1 victory to the visitors my correct score prediction.
