Following a difficult phase of competition, Pellegrino Matarazzo has finally relieved a great deal of pressure. His team ended an eight-game streak without a win in a remarkable way by defeating last season’s Bundesliga second-place team, Borussia Dortmund. They won in a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory, thanks to Max Beinei’s two goals in the second half.

The architects of the brilliant campaign did not anticipate this, but the defeat of the Millionaires marks the first celebration for the Sinsheim-based club since the beginning of the year. This unexpected victory has moved Die Kraichgauer to seventh place, reducing the gap to the top six to just four points, despite having three defeats and three losses (D3, L3).

To realign their European ambitions, Matarazzo, the boss, must first secure his defensive quarter. This is no small feat considering his team has one of the weakest defenses in the German top-tier. This is clear from their record of only one clean sheet in the completed 22 rounds and the alarming 43 goals they’ve conceded.

Although Hoffenheim managed to stop their downward trajectory, their Sunday opponents Werder Bremen maintained their run of good results in Germany. Unfortunately, they did not manage to strengthen their seventh position on the table, as they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw against bottom-of-the-table Darmstadt in their last match.

Despite an unexpected result against the lowest ranked team, the River Islanders remain one of the top-performing teams in the elite division. Only two leading title contenders, Bayer Leverkusen (25) and Bayern Munich (18), have accumulated more points than Werder’s 16 in the last nine Bundesliga matches.

Incredibly, the Green-Whites managed to secure all three points from their last three premier league matches with just one goal. The streak began with a surprising 1-0 victory over eleven-time German champions, Bayern Munich, at the Allianz Arena. This was followed by victories over the second-lowest ranked team, Mainz, and Freiburg, who are also competing for a place in Europe, without allowing a single goal.

However, Bremen’s three consecutive away victories with no goals conceded could be tarnished this weekend. They are facing the opponent who defeated them in three out of their last four head-to-head meetings, scoring nine goals in total, three of which were in the October rematch where they suffered a 2-3 loss.

Tied on points, having pocketed 30 each to this point, just four shy of the final sixth spot that secures European football for the next season, we’re confident that Hoffenheim and Werder will step onto the pitch with equal chances of getting maximum points, which should to guarantee an entertaining contest where the nets will shake at least once on either side in Sinsheim.
