Werder Bremen will travel to Sinsheim on Saturday for an away match against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Kick-off against the table neighbours is at 3:30 p.m. The three points are very important for both teams because it would get them out of the lower half of the table. The following statistics will show why Werder will score at least one goal and in what form Hoffenheim find themselves.

Did you know ...

... that Werder have only lost one match against Hoffenheim? In 11 matches against Hoffenheim, SVW have won seven times to go with three draws. Hoffenheim's only victory came three years ago when they won 4-1 on 21 August 2010 at home.

... that Hoffenheim have lost their last three Bundesliga matches? TSG have lost three straight matches for the first time under head coach Markus Gisdol. The current 14th spot in the table is the club's worst position this season.

... that Hoffenheim also have lost their last three Bundesliga home matches? The last losing streak this long dates back to the end of the first half of the 2012-13 season when they dropped four straight home matches. Back then, after the third straight home loss - a 4-1 defeat against Werder - coach Markus Babbel was sacked.

... that Hoffenheim recently have always conceded at least one goal? In the last 19 Bundesliga matches, Hoffenheim have conceded at least one goal. It's Hoffenheim's longest such streak in the Bundesliga. With 30 goals allowed, Hoffenheim have the worst defence in the league this season along with Hamburg.

... what Robin Dutt thinks of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim? "Hoffenheim are a real amazement this season. When you look at their offensive potential and number of goals, they are among the top third in the league. Still, they have fewer points than us. This will not be an easy match for either team. Maybe we have a slight psychological advantage because we are playing away and they absolutely must win in front of their home crowd."
