Bremen pull one back!
Weiser gets a bit lucky as his initial cross from the right rebounds to his feet. He pulls it back to the edge of the six-yard box, where Alvero coolly flicks a low effort past Zetterer. Grandstand finish, anyone?

Evasive action
Njinmah floats in off the left-hand side, but Grillitsch slides in to block as the Dutchman tried to get a shot off in the box.
87'
Geiger woe
Hoffenheim substitute Geiger is distraught as injury forces him off, 22 minutes into only his second appearance of the season. Becker's on in midfield.
86'
Flash point
Deman slides in late after Baumann had already gone to ground to smother Weiser's attempted flick towards goal. He goes into the book, with Ole Werner using the brief stoppage to send on former Hoffenheim man Leo Bittencourt for his 250th Bundesliga appearance.
82'
Acrobatic effort!
Njinmah with a scissor-kick from 18 yards, but it lacks the power and placement to seriously trouble Baumann.
78'
Suspension
Kadeřábek goes into the book for a shirt pull on Njinmah. That's his fifth yellow card of the season, meaning he'll serve a one-match ban in next weekend's trip to Frankfurt.
77'
No hat-trick
Beier's sacrificed, with Nsoki on to bolster the Hoffenheim defence. Two straight braces for the young German striker - he's now on 12 Bundesliga goals for the campaign.
74'
Hoffenheim down to 10 men!
This makes things interesting. Bülter's shown a second yellow card, 11 minutes after his first, after catching Schmid from behind. Can Bremen make their numerical advantage count?
72'
Fresh legs, fresh ideas
Can Kownacki and Alvero - the Bundesliga's tallest player - find a way through for Werder?

Changes
Njinmah, who has a habit of scoring from the bench, replaces Ducksch. Deman's also on at left-back, with Agu making way. Geiger, meanwhile, replaces the booked Tohumcu in a like-for-like swap in the Hoffenheim midfield.
62'
A whisker away!
Weiser drives up the Werder right and sends in a cross that hits Brooks and goes just past the upright. Bremen are still in this!
60'
Hoffenheim knocking
Grillitsch wriggles free in the Bremen box, before forcing another strong save from Zetterer. Bebou was unmarked to his right, if only he'd looked up...
58'
Denied!
Zetterer makes himself big to stop Beier turning in Bebou's low cross from close range. Excellent goalkeeping.
52'
Chance not taken!
Bremen work it really well from right to left. Agu's completely unmarked at the back post, but shanks his effort high into the stand behind Baumann's goal.

Beier brace!
What a time for Hoffenheim to double their lead! Bebou races away from Agu, before playing a brilliant pass across the six-yard box for Beier to steer home at the far post.
39'
Woodwork!
Another Euro 2024 hopeful, Ducksch spins on a sixpence before firing against the base of the left-hand post from the edge of the area. The ball then hits Baumann on the back before being cleared. Let-off for TSG!

Chance!
Baumann can only parry a Ducksch header. It falls kindly for Woltemade, who fires wide from six yards out.

On the volley!
But wide from Agu. Lovely play from Bremen in the build-up, though.
20'
Bebou!
Hoffenheim come again as Bebou sends a header wide of the far post. They look capable of scoring every time they go forward.
16'
Wide!
Beier goes on the outside of his marker, before sending in a teasing low cross towards the penalty spot. Bebou steels in, sending his first-time effort wide of the far post.

Worth a go!
Ducksch swings a boot at cross, but his volley is straight at Baumann.

Max Beier!
The corner yields the opener. Stach is the provider, but this is all about the finish - a superb hooked volley through a ruck of bodies. That's Beier's 11th in the Bundesliga the season.
7'
Strong save!
Zetterer throws up both hands to push Bebou's fizzing strike from a tight angle over for a corner.
5'
Almost!
Tohumcu lifts a delightful pass over the top of the Bremen defence for Beier. He lifts it over the advancing Zetterer, but the ball drops the wrong side of the post.

We're off!
The ball's rolling in sunny Sinsheim. Big, big game in the European race...

European ambitions
Seventh-placed Hoffenheim are ahead of Bremen on goal difference ahead of kick-off. Victory for either side would lift them to within four points of Frankfurt in sixth, though seventh could yet be enough for a place in Europe next season.

Home improvements
Although Pellegrino Matarazzo has never lost any of his five games in charge against Werder, his Hoffenheim side will need to show an improvement at home today. The hosts have won just two of their 11 games at the PreZero Arena in 2023/24, a record that only the Bundesliga's bottom three sides can compare with.
Werder on an away roll
Bremen are chasing a fourth successive victory on the road today, which - if they achieve it - would be a first in the club's history. Today's visitors also haven't conceded a goal in their last three away games, winning 1-0 at Bayern Munich, Mainz and Cologne. Ole Werner's side would equal another club record if they make it four on the bounce without conceding on their travels.
