Match Prediction: Werder Bremen vs. Hoffenheim
Werder Bremen has struggled against Hoffenheim at home, failing to win in their last 9 league meetings (5 draws, 4 losses). However, they have a good opportunity to break this trend in the upcoming match. Hoffenheim is in crisis, having secured just one away win in the Bundesliga this season (4 draws, 5 losses). Meanwhile, Ole Werner's team has not lost in 6 of their last 7 home matches in this tournament, claiming 3 wins. Additionally, their comeback from 0-3 to win the first-round match against Hoffenheim should boost their confidence.
Hoffenheim conceded four goals in their last match against the league's lowest-scoring team at the time. Ole Werner's side ranks second in goals scored among the teams in the lower half of the standings, and they have scored at least twice in 5 of their last 7 home Bundesliga matches.
I believe the hosts will earn points in a high-scoring encounter, so my prediction: Werder Bremen will not lose and Total over 2.5 goals
