Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen are unbeaten in six Bundesliga matches and sit sixth with 12 points from seven games. They came from behind to beat Mainz 2-3 last weekend, with Niclas Füllkrug scoring twice. Their attack has been reliable, but they can’t stop opponents from scoring.

Werder Bremen have scored in every Bundesliga game this season, with 15 goals in total. Veteran striker Nicklas Füllkrug has been a major part of that run, leading the Bundesliga scoring charts with 8 goals. They also lost 3-2 to Borussia Dortmund in the DFB Cup on Tuesday, so their matches continue to produce plenty of action at both ends.

There are several absentees to manage. Justin Njinmah, Felix Agu, Skelly Alvero, Keke Topp and Salim Musah are unavailable. Moussa N'Diaye and Niklas Stark are doubts.

TSG Hoffenheim

TSG Hoffenheim have turned things around after a difficult start. Wins over Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen have lifted them to 10th place, and the 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen last weekend was an impressive result. They followed that up with a 1-1 cup draw away to Holstein Kiel, progressing on penalties.

TSG Hoffenheim have scored freely in recent games and should have chances against a Werder Bremen defense that has struggled to keep clean sheets. However, their away form is not strong, with two defeats from three trips so far.

TSG Hoffenheim will be without Alexander Prass, who is suspended, while Patrick Wimmer, Albian Hajdari, and Nathan De Cat are also unavailable.

The Betting Verdict

I expect many chances at both ends. Werder Bremen keep scoring but rarely make life easy for themselves defensively, while TSG Hoffenheim have found their form with two strong Bundesliga wins. Neither side has given much reason to expect a quiet afternoon.

I like Over 3.5 Goals at around 2.00. Werder Bremen's recent matches have been high-scoring, and TSG Hoffenheim have shown they can contribute plenty in attack. It is a higher-risk bet, but the price meets my minimum, and recent results give it a decent case.

The Pick :

Werder Bremen 2-2 TSG Hoffenheim
