Fresh off the high of beating Borussia Dortmund last week, Freiburg travel to the Weserstadion to face Werder Bremen on Saturday.Christian Streich's team have been superb so far this season and find themselves in eighth spot in the Bundesliga, just outside the European qualification places.Their 2-1 win over Dortmund was thoroughly deserved, even though they suffered a late scare when Youssoufa Moukoko halved the deficit. However, goals from Jeong Woo-yeong and Jonathan Schmid gave them enough of a cushion to hold on for the three points.#Streich: "Wir haben gegen Dortmund auch Dinge nicht gut gemacht.
