Werder Bremen vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips

Werder Bremen play host to Freiburg at the Weserstadion in round four of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Horst Steffen’s men will aim to get one over the visitors this weekend, having lost both home and away meetings between the two teams in the league last season.

Werder Bremen turned in an outstanding team display last Sunday when they cruised to a 4-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach at Borussia Park.

Before that, Steffen’s side fought back from two goals down to salvage a thrilling 3-3 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on August 30, a result which saw their five-game losing streak across all competitions come to an end.

Next up for Werder Bremen is the challenge of an opposing side who are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 meetings, picking up five wins and three draws since November 2019.

Elsewhere, Freiburg turned in a fine show of fighting spirit last time out when they netted three goals in the final nine minutes to snatch a 3-1 comeback victory over Stuttgart at Europa Park Stadion.

This followed a 4-2 friendly victory over Swiss outfit FC Luzern on September 5, which saw their run of two back-to-back defeats come to an end.

Freiburg have picked up three points from the first nine available to sit 13th in the Bundesliga standings, one point and four places behind this weekend’s hosts.
