Werder Bremen and TSG Hoffenheim have met several times over the past year or so, and the home side have yet to beat this opponent, not since the 3-4 in Sep 24, and since then they have lost several in a row, including 0-1, 0-3 and 0-2 at their own ground. This time the pattern of play looks quite different, because Werder Bremen are picking up points steadily in the league, while TSG Hoffenheim, although they won 3-0 in their latest league match, lost in the cup and have been conceding throughout. Werder Bremen are still unbeaten in the league in their first 7 matches, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, scoring 15 and conceding 14, but there are still gaps visible in their defending, especially early in the first half when they concede 22% of all the goals they let in. Meanwhile TSG Hoffenheim dominate possession more (54.8% per game in their last 10 matches) and hit the target 5.4 times per game, but their away defending is not especially tight either. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides tend to concede in similar situations, and Werder Bremen themselves often score late in matches (31% of the goals they score come in the 76-90 minute period). The first thing to watch after kick-off is how Werder Bremen set up defensively to deal with TSG Hoffenheim's attack, which often gets the ball in midfield.
