That one loss came on the opening matchday, as Freiburg beat them 4-1 at Europa-Park Stadion.
Daniel Thioune’s team have been even more impressive on home turf, winning two and drawing one of their three games at Weserstadion.
A whole set of injuries have taken over the Werder Bremen squad, including Niklas Stark, Olivier Deman, Jens Stage, Keke Topp, Moussa Ndiaye and Salim Musah.
Hoffenheim have picked up pace in the Bundesliga with back-to-back wins after losing four of their opening five games (W1).
However, most recently, the Kraichgauer were eliminated from DFB-Pokal at the hands of second-tier Holstein Kiel on penalties.
Their form on the road has been disappointing as well, with only two wins from their previous six competitive trips.
The visitors have four sidelined for this clash: Albian Hajdari, Patrick Wimmer, Nathan De Cat and Max Moerstedt.
