TSG Hoffenheim continue their push for UEFA Champions League qualification when they host struggling SV Werder Bremen at the PreZero Arena.

Hoffenheim remain firmly in the race for a top-four finish despite a frustrating 3-3 draw against VfB Stuttgart last weekend. Christian Ilzer’s men threw away a two-goal lead against ten-man opposition, conceding a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser that prevented them from moving into the Champions League spots.

Even so, Hoffenheim are still level on points with the teams around them and know victory here could be crucial heading into the final matchday. Their attacking form at home has been impressive throughout the season, regularly scoring multiple goals at the PreZero Arena.

Werder Bremen, meanwhile, are still fighting to guarantee Bundesliga survival after losing 3-1 to FC Augsburg last weekend. The visitors only need one more point from their remaining fixtures to secure safety, but their away performances have been a major weakness all season.

Bremen have collected just 13 points from 16 away league matches, one of the poorest records in the Bundesliga, and now face a difficult challenge against a Hoffenheim side with strong attacking momentum.

Team News

Hoffenheim welcome back Grischa Prömel from suspension, giving Christian Ilzer an important midfield boost. Andrej Kramarić is expected to spearhead the attack after another strong run of form in front of goal.

Werder Bremen have no major fresh injury concerns heading into the clash, with Romano Schmid expected to continue in an advanced midfield role.

Head-to-Head Record
