Werder vs Hoffenheim prediction and betting tips on February 16, 2025
Game Prediction
The 22nd round of the German Bundesliga will feature a match between Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim on February 16, 2025. The Bremen side, aiming to return to European competitions, is determined to secure a victory against a relegation battler.
Our Prediction for Werder vs Hoffenheim
Both clubs showed improvement last season. However, the "Musicians" were unlucky: despite earning 42 points, they lost out on eighth place (which secured a UEFA Conference League spot in 2024) to debutants Heidenheim due to tiebreakers. The "Kraichgauer" finished four points ahead and secured a Europa League ticket with a seventh-place finish.
Hoffenheim’s European campaign ended in disappointment, with only two wins and nine points—just one short of advancing to the knockout stage. Their Bundesliga form has also been shaky despite a managerial change, as they continue to lose half of their matches and rarely win. Worse yet, they suffered a humiliating 0-4 home defeat to Union Berlin in the last round.
Ole Werner’s side looked solid throughout 2024, but after the winter break, they struggled, alternating between draws and losses in four consecutive matches. They finally secured a win against Mainz but were then dismantled 3-0 by Bayern Munich in Munich.
Bremen has an average scoring rate of 1.62 goals per game but concedes slightly more at 1.86. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim averages 1.24 goals per match but allows over two goals per game defensively.
