A victory would move the hosts into the top four ahead of the rest of the weekend’s fixtures, but they are up against a Bremen side who are unbeaten on their travels this season.
Having collected 10 of their 14 points from home matches, Hoffenheim head into Friday’s encounter with the joint-best home record in the Bundesliga this season. Union Berlin and RB Leipzig are the only other sides who have matched Hoffenheim’s points tally from home games.
After beating Bremen in their previous two home meetings, Hoffenheim will be confident that they can continue their fine run of form at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena.
Friday’s visitors will be aiming to clinch consecutive victories after thrashing Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1 last weekend. Ole Werner’s side required only 13 minutes to race into a three-goal lead as Niclas Füllkrug netted a brace, while his striker partner Marvin Ducksch also managed to beat Yann Sommer. A Ramy Bensebaïni own goal added to Bremen’s advantage before half time, and although Marcus Thuram pulled one back after the interval, Mitchell Weiser restored the four-goal cushion to wrap up a memorable 5-1 victory.
