Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim Prediction and Betting Tips | February 16th 2025

The German Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Werder Bremen play host to Hoffenheim on Sunday. Christian Ilzer’s men are unbeaten in their last six visits to the Weserstadion and will be looking to extend this solid streak.

Werder Bremen were sent crashing back down to earth in their surge into the top half of the table as they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Stadium last Friday.

Before that, Ole Werner’s side snapped their five-game winless run on January 31 when they edged out Mainz 1-0 on home turf courtesy of a first-half strike from Leonardo Bittencourt.

Werder Bremen have picked up 30 points from their 21 Bundesliga matches so far to sit 10th in the league standings, level on points with ninth-placed Wolfsburg.

Elsewhere, Hoffenheim continued to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table as they suffered a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Union Berlin last Sunday.

Ilzer’s men have now failed to win nine of their last 10 league games, losing six and claiming three draws since the start of December.

With 18 points from 21 matches, Hoffenheim are currently 15th in the Bundesliga standings, just four points and one place above 16th-placed Heidenheim in the relegation playoff spot.
