Hoffenheim vs Werder Prediction: Will the home team make it to the top 4?

The ninth round of the German Bundesliga will start with a match between Hoffenheim and Werder. The bookmakers are on the home team's side in the pairing but do not underestimate the musicians, who have lost just once in their last four games.

Before the start of Matchday 9, Hoffenheim is fifth in the league table with just one point less than Dortmund, who is in the UEFA Champions League. After a 4:1 home win over Mainz, they have twice drawn with Freiburg and Hertha. It should be noted that the team has three wins on home soil, with one draw in four Bundesliga games. If they win, Hoffenheim will move up into the top 2 of the German championship for at least a day. Hoffe's home statistics are third in the division, +3=1-0, 8:3 goal difference.

Werder lacks confidence, but they are in eighth place before the 9th round, with 12 points, just two points less than Eintracht in the UEFA competitions. In the last game, the musicians beat Gladbach before losing to Bayer and, before that, to Augsburg at home. Werder's away statistics are surprisingly good for a newcomer: +2=2-0, 8:5 goal difference, fourth in the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim is a team with ambition, they have experience playing in the Champions League, and no doubt set themselves exactly those goals, i.e., playing in the group stage of the Champions League. In their turn, Werder has started the championship well, but we doubt they can play 100% all season long; the northerners will try to take the maximum while they have the chance. In this pairing, we are on the side of the home team. We believe they have an excellent chance of picking up three points and climbing into the UEFA Champions League.
