--------------------------------
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen, coached by Horst Steffen, is preparing for the 2025-26 Bundesliga season after finishing 9th in 2024-25 with a W8 D6 L8 record, per the sports card above. They drew 0-0 with Parma in their latest friendly, showing defensive solidity but lacking attacking spark. Their pre-season form includes 1 win, 2 draws, and 1 loss, averaging 0.8 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded. Key players include Marvin Ducksch, Mitchell Weiser, and Jens Stage. Bremen’s strengths are their possession-based play (62.2% vs. Hoffenheim in February 2025) and home form at Weserstadion, but their low scoring rate is a concern. They aim to build momentum for their Bundesliga opener.
TSG Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim, led by Pellegrino Matarazzo, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Bundesliga season after a mid-table finish in 2024-25. They beat Darmstadt 98 5-1 in a friendly on July 26, 2025, with goals from Andrej Kramarić and Adam Hložek, averaging 2.5 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded in pre-season. Key players include Kramarić, Hložek, and Florian Grillitsch, with a probable lineup featuring Oliver Baumann, Ozan Kabak, and Wouter Burger. Hoffenheim’s strengths are their attacking flair and midfield dynamism, but injuries to Kabak (cruciate ligament) and Diadie Samassekou (thigh) may force rotations. They seek a strong pre-season finish.
Head-to-Head
The sports card above details 29 meetings from 2010-2025, with Hoffenheim leading 9-8, and 12 draws (Werder: W8 D12 L9, -2 goal differential). Recent matches include Hoffenheim’s 3-1 win on February 16, 2025 (Werder’s goal by Romano Schmid), and Werder’s 4-3 victory on September 29, 2024 (Ducksch scoring), per the sports card above. Matches average 2.3 goals, with 40% over 2.5 goals and 70% both teams scoring (BTTS).
Predicted Score: Werder Bremen 1-2 TSG Hoffenheim
This friendly on August 1, 2025, at Weserstadion, Bremen, at 10:00 AM UTC (6:00 AM EDT), is a double-header test (2x90 minutes), per DeichStube. Werder’s Ducksch and Weiser face Hoffenheim’s Kramarić and Hložek, with Werder’s possession game testing Hoffenheim’s depleted defense. Hoffenheim are slight favorites (-120 odds) over Werder (+260), with a draw at +230, per Sofascore.com. Trends (Hoffenheim: 60% over 2.5 goals; Werder: 40%) and H2H suggest goals. The 20°C morning should keep cards low. Hoffenheim is likely to score through Kramarić, with Ducksch possibly netting for Werder. Hoffenheim’s attacking form should secure a narrow win, though Werder’s home edge keeps it close.
