Freiburg
The team lost away to Stuttgart in the previous round (0:1). That was only the second defeat for Julian Schuster’s side in their last seven Bundesliga matches (three wins, two draws), but in every game during that spell Freiburg failed to keep a clean sheet. What is more, the club have just four clean sheets in the league this season. In the standings, the team sit seventh, eight points adrift of the European places.
- Both teams scored in 6 of Freiburg’s last 8 Bundesliga matches.
- At home, the team are unbeaten in eight straight league matches (five wins, three draws).
- In 5 of their last 6 home games in this competition, the club scored at least twice.

Defender Philipp Lienhart and midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh will miss out through injury.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen shared the points at home with Borussia Mönchengladbach last time out (1:1). As a result, the team’s winless run in the league has reached 10 matches (four draws, six defeats). In that spell, Werder Bremen have managed to score only twice in their last seven Bundesliga games. In terms of total goals scored (22), the visitors are fourth from bottom. In the overall table, the club are 15th, only narrowly clear of the relegation play-off place.

Freiburg vs Werder Bremen: Match Prediction
Julian Schuster’s side are in decent form. Freiburg have avoided defeat in 5 of their last 7 Bundesliga matches (three wins, two draws), and the two losses in that spell came against Stuttgart and RB Leipzig, teams competing for the very top positions. It is also important to add that both defeats were away from home, while in their own stadium the club are unbeaten in eight straight league games. We think the hosts have a strong chance of taking points again in this upcoming match, especially as Freiburg have beaten their nearest opponent in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings in this competition (one defeat).
Werder Bremen have been unable to win in the Bundesliga since the start of november. Away from home in the current league campaign, the team have won just once, and Werder Bremen have now lost 4 of their last 5 away matches in the Bundesliga. Those results are largely down to defensive issues: the club are among the four worst teams for goals conceded. Freiburg, who have been scoring freely at home, should be able to take advantage of that.
Prediction: Freiburg to win and over 1.5 goals
* For each team, the starting lineup shown is from its previous match in this competition.
