Werder Bremen - Freiburg predictions

Werder Bremen will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Freiburg don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.60 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Werder is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Freiburg.

Werder Bremen are here on the back of an upturn victory in the previous round. They faced off against Hoffenheim , who were widely considered strong favourites and had home-field advantage. The first half was largely a stalemate, but Werder pulled ahead in the second half and ended the game on a 3:4 score.

Freiburg recorded a shocking defeat in the previous league match. They were the overwhelming favourites to claim a win but things went south straight from the off. They were behind after the first 45 minutes and never managed to recover which resulted in a staggering 0:3 loss.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Team from Bremen will need to bring their best to walk away with 3 points this Saturday, but doing so will get help to improve their table position, which is currently sitting at 10th.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Werder Bremen secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.80, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
