Werder Bremen – 1899 Hoffenheim / Bundesliga – These two teams went into the winter break in completely different moods, because Werder is again in trouble and occupies one of the relegation places, while Hoffenheim lingers with 11 points ahead of the international tables. Before the winter break, the Bremen showed a rising form curve and have been defeated only once in the last four rounds and also they have secured the entry into the Cup quarter-finals. Hoffenheim retired from the Cup, as well as from the European League and has been defeated twice in the last three rounds. In the home game Hoffeneim celebrated a 1-0 victory against Werder and with the same result celebrated the Bremen in the cup.
Werder Bremen
In the finish of the first round, the hosts from Bremen were very playful and in good spirits, which is why the winter break came at an unfavorable time. Despite recent good games, this has not had a great positive effect on their placement, for the reason that they played disastrously at the beginning of the season and celebrated their first appearance in the 12th round.
After the triumph over Hannover, they celebrated two more times, while they were minimally defeated in Leverkusen and last they drew against Mainz. In the match, they gambled away the 2-0 lead and conceded the second goal in injury time. Since the arrival of the new coach Kohfeldt Bremer play much better and also in the Cup, they secured the entry into the quarter-finals and that after the triumph over Freiburg. There were no transfers during the winter break and midfielder Junuzovic and striker M. Kruse will return to the team compared to the last round.
1899 Hoffenheim
The guests from Hoffenheim were not very successful in the first round. For the first time, this team was active on three fronts, which ultimately had a very negative impact on their game because they failed in all competitions. Werder have just eliminated them from the Cup and have also been eliminated in the group stage of the Europa League. Before that, they failed in the CL qualifier. Very dense game calendar led to the exhaustion of the players and so they did not play nearly as well in the championship as last season.
They also had a winless series of four games, while they alternately recorded victories and defeats in the final round of the first half. In the last game before the winter break they conceded a 1: 2 defeat in Dortmund against Borussia. During the winter break striker Wagner switched to Bayern, so Uht now has a lot more freedom. This player has scored many goals as a substitute. Injured are Demirbay and Nad.Amiri.
Werder Bremen – 1899 Hoffenheim TIP
If Werder continues as in the finish of the first round, then this could be a very interesting duel, because Hoffenheim has also consolidated its ranks, although today’s guests are weakened. Unusually for the Bremen is that they were Torin efficient, but that could now change and because the guests are quite offensively oriented, we expect a scorching game.
