Freiburg vs Werder Bremen prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2022-10-21 13:30.
After a frenetic start to their Bundesliga campaign where they won four of their opening five fixtures (L1), Freiburg have hit a wall recently, winning only once from their proceeding five league matches (D3, L1). Manager Christian Streich’s side still sit third in the table, but he needs to try and instil the mentality that’s worked so well in Europe this season, with his side winning all four of their UEFA Europa League Group G matches, impressively scoring 11 goals while conceding only once.
Freiburg return to the Europa-Park Stadion with their tails slightly between their legs after a 5-0 mauling at Bayern Munich in their last top-flight match. That won’t bode well for the home fans' confidence as Werder Bremen are set to pay them a visit, considering Freiburg have won only two of the last 13 home H2Hs (D3, L8).
Bremen will be hoping to use that favourable record to make up the three-point deficit that they currently trail Freiburg by in the Bundesliga standings, with a victory ensuring they’ll leapfrog their opponents by virtue of goal difference. Bremen were riding a two-game winning streak in the Bundesliga until suffering a disappointing 2-0 loss to Mainz last weekend, albeit that was only the second time in 34 league matches that they were kept scoreless.
The River Islanders have returned to top-flight football this season with no fear when hitting the road, as they’re currently the league’s only undefeated side on their travels (W3, D2). That success has been driven by a relentless offensive mindset, with Ole Werner’s men scoring 2+ goals in four of their five away league trips this season, a league-high.
Players to watch: Frieburg’s Michael Gregoritsch has scored more goals against Bremen (six) than any other Bundesliga side, while Bremen’s top-scorer Niclas Füllkrug can both start and end games on a high, given his last seven goals have come in either the first or last 15 minutes of the game.
Hot streak: Freiburg have won five consecutive home Bundesliga matches against promoted sides, the longest such run of all current Bundesliga teams.
