Prediction
Hoffenheim 2, Werder Bremen 2
Money line (ML)
Positive COVID-19 tests have struck visiting Hoffenheim (+130), which will miss some of its more talented players who are in self-isolation. Werder Bremen (+195) isn’t immune from the virus, either, as Agu tested positive, and Chong must also self-isolate after sharing a room with the left-back. As such, a DRAW (+260) play looks pretty enticing here, as both sides will be missing some regulars.
New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on Hoffenheim returns $13, while a winning $10 bet on Werder Bremen fetches a profit of $19.50. A $10 bet on a draw returns a profit of $26.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (+130) is a slam-dunk play in this one. Both teams are down several defenders, either due to COVID or injury, and the pitch should be wide open. Werder is averaging 1.5 goals per match with a zero goal-differential, while Hoffenheim is averaging 2.0 goals per match with a plus-2 in the goal-differential department.
