Werder Bremen host Hoffenheim after strong early start
Sixth-placed Werder Bremen look to protect their unbeaten home record when they welcome tenth-placed Hoffenheim to the Weserstadion.
Werder Bremen have made a good start to the campaign, sitting sixth on 12 points after seven matches. Unbeaten in their last six league outings, they edged FSV Mainz 05 3-2 away from home in their previous Bundesliga fixture. Bremen have also remained steady on home soil with two wins and a draw from three league games at the Weserstadion.
Hoffenheim sit tenth with nine points after seven games, having had a mixed start. However, momentum is building after consecutive league wins, including an impressive 3-0 home victory against Bayer Leverkusen last time out and a 2-1 away triumph at Borussia Mönchengladbach before that.
