H2H: Freiburg vs Werder Bremen – Score Prediction (Bundesliga

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Including twice this season, Freiburg are on a run of 16 games without defeat when Nils Peterson has scored (W11, D5). Playing against his favourite opponent (seven goals), Leonardo Bittencourt’s last three Bundesliga goals all came before HT in a 1-0 win for Bremen, including here last season. Only once in 20 all-time Bundesliga H2H games at Freiburg has a HT deficit been overturned for a win (either side).

Freiburg Insights.

A 4-0 loss last round confirmed an even Bundesliga start (W1, D1, L1) for Freiburg and their seventh league loss without scoring in their last eight reversals. That match also marked their sixth straight competitive game to see the HT result matched come FT. Unbeaten in four Bundesliga home games (W3, D1), Freiburg league games at Schwarzwald-Stadion are slow burners with just 14 goals in the first period since the start of 2019/20. Of those 14, just one arrived in the opening 15 minutes – the lowest such Bundesliga return over that period. Unsurprisingly, just three of their home league matches in that 18-game run saw over 1.5 first-half goals.

Werder Bremen Insights.

A win just before the ‘interlull’ confirmed Werder Bremen’s first back-to-back Bundesliga wins since September last year and their best points return (six) from their opening three games since 2013/14. The win last round also marked eight straight league games to see them claim at least a point after scoring first (W6, D2). A force to be reckoned with on their league travels, Bremen have lost just one of their last seven trips (W4, D2). Indeed no Bundesliga side gained a greater percentage of their points away from home (22 of 31) than Bremen last season, amazing for a side that escaped relegation via the play-off. It’s also worth noting that Bremen have lost just five of their 20 all-time top-flight games (W12, D3) at Freiburg.
