Here's our Freiburg vs Werder Bremen Prediction analysis: Unfortunately, the Freiburg players will be deprived of the famous “We go down, we go up, we go into the UEFA Cup” chant when they step out of the tunnel to take on Werder Bremen this Saturday as the game is scheduled to be played behind closed doors. In the absence of their ever-supportive fans, the home side will be looking to take some confidence in the fact that they will be taking on a weak Werder Bremen side. Given complacency is out of the picture, Freiburg should have enough about themselves to clinch maximum points here.

The hosts have been very impressive this campaign, defying pre-season expectations of finishing in the bottom half of the table, by challenging for an Europa League spot. Just two points behind sixth-placed Wolfsburg, a win here could see them break into the highly-coveted German Bundesliga top-six.

Deep-balls into relegation obscurity, the visiting contingent will be desperate for a positive result at the Schwarzwald-Stadion but will have their work cut-out in a bid to stage an upset. Expect an exciting game in Freiburg with the home side cruising to a comfortable victory.

SC Freiburg vs Werder Bremen Team News

Last time out in the league, Freiburg showed, once again, why they should never be considered pushovers as they gave title-chasing RB Leipzig a run for their money. Dominating proceedings throughout the first period of the game, Freiburg earned a well-deserved lead and looked set for all three points.

They continued to press really high in the second period but failed to see off the game with a second goal. As expected, this came back to haunt them as RB Leipzig found a route to a late equalizer to share the spoils.

Christian Streich’s men, indeed, thought they had stolen the win in extra time after firing the ball home, only to have the goal ruled out for offside by the Video Assistant Referee. However, the travelling supporters headed home in delight as they saw their side salvage a point against an incredible Leipzig side.

Werder Bremen, on the other hand, continued their sink into the German Second Division after falling to a heavy 1-4 home defeat at the hands of high-flying Bayer Leverkusen. The club supporters can have no complaints about the loss given the stature of the opposition in question.

Despite huffing and puffing throughout the game, they were second-best and never really looked likely to cause an upset. The Weserstadion was sent into raptures in the 28^th minute after Die Werderaner threw themselves into the lead. However, a resurgence from Leverkusen condemned the visitors to a humiliating defeat.

Home advantage is very likely to come into play in this fixture as Freiburg have shown themselves to be supreme on home turf. Desperate for a ticket to the 2020/2021 Europa League as well as a return to winning ways following their draw at Leipzig, Freiburg will be bent on securing victory on this ground.

Their task will be made easier by the lackluster nature of Werder Bremen, early candidates to get relegated from the German top-flight. Should all go according to plan, the home side should be celebrating victory at the end of the ninety minutes.
