Did you know that…

…TSG tend to fare well against Bremen?

Matches against SV Werder have often ended in celebration for Hoffenheim in the past. TSG have tasted victory in six of their last eight meetings. There have also been one draw and one defeat.

…Bremen are in good form?

Coach Ole Werner's team might have suffered a 5-0 loss at the hands of FC Bayern Munich last weekend, but they are actually in strong form. It was their first defeat following an eight-match unbeaten streak.

…Pellegrino Matarazzo is facing his favourite foe?

It is not only TSG who have fond memories of the opposition, but Pellegrino Matarazzo too. The Hoffenheim coach is unbeaten against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. The coach has registered five wins and drawn on one occasion.

…Werder equalled a negative record last weekend?

In their 5-0 defeat against FC Bayern Munich, Bremen did not register a single shot at the opposition goal. It was the first time in almost 10 years that a Bundesliga team has not had a shot at goal throughout the entire duration of a match.
