Premium Tips

Andy leans towards Freiburg, whose home form should tell against a Werder side that struggled last season.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Freiburg to win and under 2.5 goals4/1Freiburg remain well organised and difficult to beat at home, and that consistency has translated into some tightly controlled results against Werder Bremen down the years, including 1-0 and 0-1 wins in two of the last five meetings. Werder finished a disappointing 15th last season and were inconsistent, meaning they are unlikely to trouble a settled Freiburg side enough to force an open, high-scoring afternoon. A professional home win built on defensive solidity rather than a flood of goals fits the pattern of Freiburgs typical approach and their strong recent head to head record against this opponent.
Marco Friedl and Senne Lynen to be booked11/1Both play central roles in Werder Bremens setup, and with the visitors expected to spend long spells defending against a strong home side, they will likely be dragged into repeated last ditch challenges and recovery duels. Werder carry some threat going forward but were inconsistent last term, so they may need to defend for extended periods after losing possession in Freiburgs half. That kind of sustained defensive workload against a well drilled home attack increases the likelihood of mistimed tackles and cautions for both players over the course of the match.

How Freiburg go into the game

Freiburg finished a fine seventh last season and remain difficult to beat at home. The Europa-Park Stadion is a tough venue for any visitor.

Well-organised and consistent, Freiburg will fancy a winning start. Home advantage should count against a mid-table Werder.

How Werder Bremen go into the game

Werder Bremen finished 15th last season and know they must improve. They open with a demanding trip to a strong Freiburg side.

Werder carry a threat going forward but were inconsistent last term. Taking something from the Europa-Park Stadion would be a good start.
