SC Freiburg vs Werder Bremen Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Werder Bremen have lost back-to-back Bundesliga games for the first time since March 2024.

SC Freiburg are all set to host Werder Bremen in match week 23 of the Bundesliga 2024-25 season. The hosts are in the fifth spot as they have bagged 11 wins in 22 league matches so far. Werder Bremen on the other hand have only shown average performances which have kept them in the 10th spot in the same number of games.

SC Freiburg will be confident at home as they are coming after winning their previous Bundesliga match against St. Pauli. It was an own goal by their opposition which led to a win. Both sides had a poor attack rate and were bent on maintaining the possession. The next league game is not going to be an easy one for the hosts.

Werder Bremen will be low on confidence as they have lost their last couple of league games. Despite Werder maintaining the majority of the ball possession, they were unable to convert their attack into any goals. This might be a problem for them in their next fixture.
