SC Freiburg vs Werder Bremen Predictions
Freiburg have opening-day record on their side
Freiburg have won five of their last seven Bundesliga opening fixtures. The first weekend has regularly brought a positive result for the hosts in recent seasons.
Their home record against Werder Bremen adds another useful angle. Freiburg have lost only one of their last eight Bundesliga home meetings with Sunday’s visitors.
Last season also left a clear gap between the sides. Freiburg finished seventh with 47 points after 13 wins, eight draws and 13 defeats. Werder Bremen were 15th on 32 points, recording eight wins, eight draws and 18 losses.
Bremen finished that campaign with only one victory from their final seven league matches. They have also lost four of their last six Bundesliga openers, while their last three away league games have passed without a win.
With Freiburg’s opening-day record backed up by their recent home results in this fixture, I’m backing SC Freiburg to Win at 2.10.

Bremen’s opener trend brings 2-1 into focus
Eight of Werder Bremen’s last ten Bundesliga opening fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals. Their more recent away numbers also matter, with Bremen failing to keep a clean sheet in three consecutive Bundesliga trips.
Freiburg have usually been much harder for Bremen to score against in this fixture. They have kept seven clean sheets across the last nine Bundesliga meetings and shut Bremen out in each of the last four head-to-heads.
That defensive sequence puts a limit on expectations for the visitors, but Bremen’s opening-day goal numbers provide a different scoring reference for this particular fixture. Freiburg’s record of only one defeat in their last eight home league meetings with Bremen keeps the result side firmly with the hosts.
A 2-1 Freiburg result could be worth a look at 9.00, with Bremen’s run of high-scoring Bundesliga openers providing the clearest support for a three-goal scoreline.
