Werder Bremen vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 5th 2024

The German Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Werder Bremen and Freiburg lock horns at the Weserstadion on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Julian Schuster’s men suffering a humbling defeat against newly-promoted St. Pauli.

Werder Bremen turned in a superb show of fighting spirit last Sunday when they fought back from three goals down to secure a stunning 4-3 victory over Hoffenheim at the PreZero Arena.

This followed a 5-0 thrashing against Bayern Munich at the Weserstadion on September 21 which saw their eight-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga come to an end.

While Ole Werner’s side will be looking to secure consecutive league wins for the first time this season, they have struggled for results at home, where they are on a run of just two wins in nine games since the start of February.

Freiburg, on the other hand, were sent back down to earth last weekend when they fell to a disappointing 3-0 defeat against newcomers St. Pauli at the Europa Park Stadion.

Before that, Schuster’s men were on a three-game winning streak, thrashing Basel 6-0 in a friendly on September 6 before claiming back-to-back league victories over Bochum and Heidenheim.

With nine points from the opening five Bundesliga matches, Freiburg are currently seventh in the league standings, one point and three places above this weekend’s hosts.
