Context last updated 25 Aug 2026, 17:00 · Europe/Bucharest

Freiburg's four-match winning streak over Werder (10-0 aggregate) makes them the likely winners, but the short rest from their Conference League playoff tempers the edge.

The best value is Over 1.5 second-half goals at 2.63 (55% model vs 38% implied), while Both Teams to Score and Asian Handicap -1.0 should be avoided.

Context

Freiburg are ranked 7th in the Bundesliga and are set to play in the Conference League this season.
Freiburg have scored 2, 3, 3, 2, and 5 goals in their last five matches across all competitions. This consistent scoring suggests they can create chances against Werder Bremen, who have conceded in most of their recent Bundesliga games. However, the sample includes friendlies and lower-league cup opponents, so the level of opposition varies.
- Freiburg beat Fortuna Düsseldorf 5-1 in the DFB Pokal on 2026-08-23.
- Freiburg beat Motherwell 3-1 in the UEFA Europa Conference League on 2026-08-20.
- Freiburg beat Crystal Palace 3-0 in a friendly on 2026-08-15.
Freiburg completed a Conference League play-off on Thursday and made seven changes between their DFB-Pokal win and that second leg.
This is Freiburg's fourth competitive match in ten days, so recovery and rotation could affect the intensity they sustain. The seven changes show they are already managing minutes, and the short turnaround may force further selection adjustments against Werder.
- Freiburg beat Motherwell 4-1 on 27 August after winning the first leg 3-1.
- The club describes the Werder fixture as Freiburg’s fourth competitive match in ten days and their third competition already.
- Freiburg made seven changes to their starting XI between the DFB-Pokal win at Fortuna Düsseldorf and the Motherwell second leg.

Werder Bremen are ranked 15th in the Bundesliga, just above the relegation playoff spot.
Werder Bremen lost to Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim, Augsburg, and RB Leipzig in their final five Bundesliga matches of last season. This poor run suggests defensive issues, as they conceded at least two goals in three of those losses. However, the new season may bring changes, and their recent cup win shows some improvement.
- Werder Bremen lost 0-2 to Borussia Dortmund on 2026-05-16.
- Werder Bremen lost 0-1 to Hoffenheim on 2026-05-09.
- Werder Bremen lost 1-3 to Augsburg on 2026-05-02.
Freiburg have scored seven of their first 12 competitive goals from dead-ball situations, including two corners against Motherwell.
Set pieces are a proven chance-creation route for Freiburg, so Werder's corner defending and discipline around the box become specific concerns. The visitors will need to limit avoidable fouls and organise restarts carefully.
- Freiburg state that seven of their first 12 competitive goals this season have come from dead-ball situations.
- Igor Matanović and Cyriaque Irié scored from Derry Scherhant corners in the 4-1 win over Motherwell.
