"Starting with the hosts, while Werder Bremen might have sprung a real upset among Germany's elite last season as they secured a top-half finish, the River Islanders have come crashing back down to earth this time around. Last seen over the weekend falling to a 1-0 loss at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen, Horst Steffen's men are at the heart of a relegation scrap."
"Marking their return from Germany's festive break with a routine 3-0 drumming away at Borussia Dortmund, Bremen currently hold just a three-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone. Facing what should prove to be another stern examination on Monday night, Steffen's downbeat squad have also failed to win any of their previous eight consecutive Bundesliga appearances (five defeats, three draws). It should also be highlighted, Bremen have failed to find the net in four of their last five top-flight showdowns."
"Werder Bremen Team News Limping off in the opening 15 minutes against Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend with a reported knee injury, Amos Pieper will not play any part here. Likewise, sustaining his own respective knee injury last month, Nigerian striker Victor Boniface is expected to miss the remainder of the season. Argentinian defender Julian Malatini should make a first Bundesliga start since the opening weekend of the 2025/26 campaign. Completing a summer loan switch from Southampton, Japanese international Yukinari Sugawara will start at right-back."
Hoffenheim travel to Werder Bremen riding a strong European run and occupy a high position in the Bundesliga under Christian Ilzer. Werder Bremen have tumbled into a relegation scrap after recent defeats, holding only a three-point cushion above the drop zone. Bremen have gone eight league games without a win and failed to score in four of their last five top-flight matches. Amos Pieper is sidelined with a knee injury and Victor Boniface is expected to miss the season, while Julian Malatini and Yukinari Sugawara are set to start. A draw-no-bet on Hoffenheim at 7/10 with Olympusbet is advised.
