Season ticket holders at Weserstadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Werder Bremen languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Hoffenheim will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim.
It's quite the trip for Hoffenheim when visiting Werder Bremen as the cities are 2600 kilometers apart.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Werder Bremen have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Weserstadion. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Werder Bremen fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Augsburg game long ago, can be stopped today.
Werder Bremen's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Hoffenheim (placed 8th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Fortuna Düsseldorf with a 1-0 scoreline.
