Second-half goals from returnees Niclas Füllkrug and Eren Dinkçi secured a home win for Werder Bremen against TSG Hoffenheim. With their first back-to-back victory, the hosts climbed to fifth in the standings.

Daniel Thioune had to make an early substitution as Mitchell Weiser suffered another setback after making his return from a long-term injury. To no one's surprise, Füllkrug had Bremen's first real chance before Marco Grüll's header narrowly missed the target.

Hoffenheim's best chance of the first-half came in the 45th minute when Amos Pieper cleared Adam Hložek's header from the goal line. The Czechia international was also instrumental in Hoffenheim's first chance after the break, but Youri Regeer denied Fisnik Asllani.
