Game: HOFFENHEIM vs WERDER BREMEN
Type: German Bundesliga
Date: 7 March, 2009
PREVIEW
---------
Hoffenheim have surprised many when they led the Bundesliga at one stage, consistently outscoring their opponents for wins to propel them up the table. Nevertheless, a single win in their last 7 matches have seen them dropping points when it matters and slipping down to 3rd position currently. Working with a skeletal team and relying only on 1 or 2 key players, they are now feeling the effects of the long season's expectations, despite having the winter break.
Bremen, on the other hand, might have had a dismal start to this season's campaign but their recent upturn in form have brought confidence back in the team. They are unbeaten in their last 3 in all competitions, most notably securing the 2-2 draw with AC Milan in the UEFA Cup, and the recent 5-2 trashing of Wolfsburg away from home. They have the highest average for away goals scored at 2.11 per game and this will give them an extra impetus to search for a 2nd away win in the league.
