Werder Bremen are enjoying one of their best-ever starts to a top-flight season, and their best since the 2018/19 campaign, with only one defeat in seven fixtures (W3, D3).

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.

Whispers predicts: Werder Bremen 2-1 Hoffenheim

Just one of Hoffenheim’s last 15 Bundesliga matches produced under 2.5 goals – each of their seven opening games have gone over the mark. Meanwhile, six of Bremen’s seven have also crossed 2.5 goals. Backing Over 2.5 total goals at 5/12 (1.45) offers modest returns.

At the same time, Hoffenheim have been able to avoid trailing at the break in five of their seven games, as opposed to Bremen, who have fallen behind four times. Hoffenheim to win or draw at half-time at 17/12 (2.41) is a wise bet.

Bremen marksman Niklas Fullkrug has been outstanding so far, netting eight goals in seven league appearances. Fullkrug as anytime goalscorer at 16/11 (2.45) is an outstanding punt given the German’s form.
