SC Freiburg vs Werder Bremen Prediction - Bundesliga
SC Freiburg have a great opportunity to accumulate points when they host Werder Bremen, a team currently in poor form and with a long injury list, in round 21 of the Bundesliga.
The clash between SC Freiburg and Werder Bremen in round 21 of the Bundesliga takes place against the backdrop of two teams at completely opposite extremes in the standings. While the home team at Europa-Park Stadion is striving to catch up with the European cup qualification spots, the visitors are struggling at the bottom of the table with alarming form.
Current league position and form
Currently, SC Freiburg is ranked 8th with 27 points after 20 rounds. Their form in the last 5 matches is 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Notably, SC Freiburg's coach and his team always play very confidently at their home ground, having won 5 home games this season.
Conversely, Werder Bremen is currently 15th with 19 points, just above the relegation zone. The team is experiencing a disappointing run of form, having failed to win any of their last five matches (two draws, three losses). Their away form is a major weakness, as they have only managed one away win since the start of the season.
| Team | Location | Point | Form (last 5 matches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC Freiburg | 8 | 27 | 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses |
| Werder Bremen | 15 | 19 | Wins 0, Draws 2, Losses 3 |
Goal difference and goal-scoring statistics
SC Freiburg scored 31 goals (an average of 1.6 goals per game) but also conceded 33. The imbalance between attack and defense is something they need to improve. However, Werder Bremen's situation is even worse, with their defense conceding 38 goals in 20 matches, an average of 1.9 goals per game, while their attack only scored 22 goals.
The home team has a superior head-to-head record.
History is overwhelmingly on the home side. In their last five encounters, SC Freiburg have won four matches and lost only one. Most notably, their crushing 5-0 victory in February 2025 at Europa-Park Stadion demonstrates the significant difference in quality between the two teams in recent years.

Team news: Werder Bremen is in crisis.
The visiting team enters this match with significant personnel losses, as many as five players are certain to be absent. Key players like V. Boniface, A. Pieper, and M. Weiser are all suffering from serious knee injuries. In addition, N. Stark is not yet fit enough to play, and M. Wober has a muscle injury, making the coach's personnel situation a difficult one.
On SC Freiburg's side, they are also missing three players: L. Kubler (hamstring injury), P. Lienhart (abdominal muscle strain), and D. Kyereh, who is not yet fully fit. However, with a deeper squad, SC Freiburg is still considered to have a much better chance of rotating their players.
Predict the result
Based on home advantage, head-to-head history, and current squad situation, SC Freiburg is predicted to have a high probability of winning or at least a draw. The odds suggest the home team has a 50% chance of winning and a 50% chance of drawing, while Werder Bremen's chances of winning are almost zero. The match is expected to be low-scoring, with Werder Bremen predicted to score under 1.5 goals.
