Hoffenheim vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting Tips (29 September)

Rather convincing last season, this Hoffenheim team was able to do well in the championship by grabbing 7th place in the ranking, which allows it to be European this season. It also begins its journey in the Europa League this week by welcoming the Danes from FC Midtjylland. It will be about regaining confidence for the TSG which is struggling at the start of the season. Because after winning his first match of the season against Holstein Kiel 3-2, Hoffe quite clearly fell into line by losing 3 times against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1, Bayer Leverkusen 1-4 and Union Berlin 2-1 last weekend. As a result, in the ranking, the locals have fallen to 15th position.

Opposite, Werder Bremen will not have the opportunity to compete in Europe, having failed by a small goal to 9th place, just behind Heidenheim who will play well in the Conference League. Regardless, this team has gotten off to a fairly decent start so far in the Bundesliga with two draws in August against Augsburg 2-2 and Borussia Dortmund 0-0. The Werdaner then achieved their first success of the season against Mainz 1-2 before losing quite heavily to a ruthless Bayern Munich 0-5. 

Unfortunately for him, TSG Hoffenheim should not be able to count on their top scorer Kramaric (4 goals in the Bundesliga). He missed the trip to C3 this week and a return would be surprising this Sunday. In addition, important midfielders Geiger, Stach, Bebou and Promel, potentially starting defenders Kabak and Jurasek as well as replacement Ole Becker are also missing. Uncertain on Wednesday in the Europa League, replacement defender Lenz and starting midfielder Grillitsch are not guaranteed to be operational this Sunday. Offensively, Bulter (1 goal in the Bundesliga) and Berisha (1 goal in the Bundesliga) could be associated.

For its part, Werder Bremen is forced to do without defender Veljkovic and replacement Scottish striker Burke who are out of form at the moment. This is also the case of the very interesting Njinmah (1 goal this season; 6 goals, 2 assists last year) who was injured in an ankle while senior defender Friedl must serve a second match suspension. Up front, the very good scorer Ducksch (1 goal) will be expected at a better level than since the start of the season.
