As it is shaping up, both Werder and Freiburg will likely be in contention for the continental spots in the Bundesliga. And rightly so – Werder is a team that has a solid European history, while Freiburg is also a team that has enjoyed UEFA tournament exposure in recent seasons and will be looking for more of the same.
Werder Bremen Team News
Werder is currently in some good form. If we count last season as well, the team has lost just one Bundesliga fixture from their last 10. This points to the fact that Werder might be back to their best, but there is still a long way to go. One of their most impressive results during this streak is last week’s remarkable comeback from 3-0 against Hoffenheim. A curious fact is that The Green and Whites have failed to score at the Weserstadion during this campaign, but it must be noted that they drew with Borussia Dortmund 0-0 and suffered a huge 0-5 loss to Bayern Munich. No other Bundesliga team boasts such a discrepancy in their scoring.
SC Freiburg Team News
This failure to score at home from Werder could play into one of Freiburg’s biggest strengths as of late – their impeccable defence in away games. The team has kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 Bundesliga trips. Although St. Pauli managed to snatch a 0-3 victory against Freiburg in the previous round, the result doesn’t tell the whole tale, as the hosts missed a penalty and had 2 goals disallowed. However, Julian Schuster’s men must keep their focus, as Weserstadion has turned into a tough place to visit and a loss to their opponents did spark their last 3 game losing run.
Head-to-Head-Games
Freiburg have an advantage looking at the last 5 head-to-head games. The team has 3 wins in that span, while Werder has secured just one victory. However, that one win happened to be the last head-to-head fixture between these two.

Werder Bremen – SC Freiburg Betting Prediction
While it might seem odd, my pick is for over 2.5 goals. Werder’s games tend to feature goals, even if the team hasn’t scored at home since the start of the season. It must be noted that their first 2 home fixtures were against Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, two of Germany’s top teams. Freiburg has also been involved in high-scoring affairs as 3 of their last Bundesliga matches produced over 2.5 goals. The previous two games between Werder and Freiburg at the Weserstadion also produced over 2.5 goals.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
