Freiburg vs Werder Bremen

This weekend’s Bundesliga action gets underway at the Europa-Park Stadion as Freiburg and Werder Bremen go head-to-head in a high-stakes showdown.

Freiburg’s bid to secure a historic top-four finish in the Bundesliga is back on track after a narrow 1-0 win against St. Pauli last weekend extended their winning league streak to three matches for the first time this season. With each victory yielding an identical 1-0 final score, Julian Schuster’s men have kept three consecutive clean sheets in the top flight for the first time since December 2023 and are now vying for a fourth win on the trot for the first time since January 2021. Despite lagging only a point behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig, Freiburg’s uneventful frontline has tallied fewer goals (29) than any other team starting this round in the top 11. However, they’ve been relentless at the Europa-Park Stadion, winning five of their last seven home league outings (D1, L1).

With only the current top three picking up more home points in the Bundesliga this term than Freiburg (22), visiting Werder Bremen could be staring down the barrel of a third successive league defeat for the first time in 2024/25. Conceding precisely three goals in their last two league games derailed Werder’s hopes of landing an unlikely European finish, demoting them to mid-table. However, sixth-placed Mainz is still within striking distance, but hauling back a five-point deficit hinges on halting an unenviable three-game winless league run on the road (D1, L2). Werder’s form in 2025 has fallen off a cliff as Ole Werner’s charges have emerged winless from six of their seven competitive games since the turn of the year (D2, L4).
