Freiburg vs Werder Bremen Prediction 7 February 2026
🔊 At the Europa-Park Stadion, Freiburg face off against Werder Bremen in the 21st round of the Bundesliga.

Meanwhile, the "Brazilians of Breisgau" have suffered two consecutive defeats. Could this be a turning point for Werder, or will Freiburg return to winning ways? After all, Julian Schuster's squad boasts an unbeaten home streak of 13 matches.

📊 In the first round at the Weserstadion, Freiburg thrashed Werder 3-0. Vincenzo Grifo and Junior Adamu found the back of the net. Romano Schmid missed a chance to narrow the gap by failing to convert a penalty, while Karim Coulibaly added an own goal to the tally.

Freiburg Team Overview
🔴 Last Sunday, Julian Schuster's squad traveled to face Stuttgart, who are vying for a Champions League spot this season. The "Brazilians of Breisgau" managed only 0.81 expected goals (xG) and suffered a narrow defeat, conceding a late goal in the 89th minute (0-1). Freiburg currently sit in seventh place, level on points with eighth-placed Eintracht, but boast a superior goal difference. Despite trailing sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen by eight points, Freiburg are determined to secure a spot in European competitions. Their home form has been particularly impressive, remaining unbeaten in 13 matches across all competitions with 10 wins and 3 draws.
Match Results: Freiburg
Werder Bremen Team Overview
🟢 Bremen managed to salvage a point in their home match against Gladbach during stoppage time (1-1). Keke Topp came on as a substitute in the 89th minute and, by the 94th, had elegantly struck the ball into the far corner of the net. This match marked their tenth game without a win: 5 draws and 5 losses. Following this streak of poor results, the Green-and-Whites have dropped to fifteenth place-just a point away from the relegation playoff zone and five points clear of the automatic relegation spots. The last time Werder were relegated was in the 2020/21 season, when they finished 17th. Such a scenario has prompted the club's management to make swift changes.

Latest news
Freiburg
🎙️ Julian Schuster after the match in Stuttgart: "In the second half, we had several promising counterattacks and could have taken the lead. In terms of scoring chances, the game was quite balanced today. A draw would have been a fair result. It's very unfair to the team because their performance deserved more."
✍️ Freiburg and Christian Günter have agreed on a contract extension. The defender has been with the "Brazilians of Breisgau" since his youth days. He made his Bundesliga debut at 19. Since the 2020/21 season, he has been the team captain, and last November, he became the club's record holder for most appearances, surpassing previous record-holder Andreas Zeyer. To date, the left-back has played 453 matches for Freiburg.
📝 Junior Adamu has joined Celtic on loan until the end of the season. The forward moved to Freiburg from Salzburg in the summer of 2024 and has since made 67 official appearances for the club, scoring seven goals and providing four assists. The club also confirmed that striker Erhan Dinkci will spend the remainder of the season on loan at Heidenheim. The 24-year-old also played on loan for the "Red-Blue-Whites" last season.
❌ Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is unavailable. Philipp Lienhart, Lukas Kübler, and Philipp Treu remain doubtful.
Werder Bremen
✍️ Following the match against Gladbach, Werder's management decided to part ways with head coach Horst Steffen. On Wednesday, the club announced their new head coach, Daniel Thioune, whose last role was with Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 2. Bundesliga.
🎙️ The new coach shared his thoughts ahead of the match: "The past few weeks haven't been positive in terms of results, but many games have been fairly even. It's about demonstrating how we can be significantly more successful, even when the margins are fine. I can't fix in three days what hasn't worked well over the past three months. Horst Steffen has left behind a great team. It's not about avoiding an eleventh consecutive winless game, but about securing a victory in one of the last 14 matches."
📝 Just before the winter transfer window closed, Skelly Alvero left Werder. The 23-year-old returns home to France, joining Ligue 2 side Amiens on loan until the summer.
❌ Karim Coulibaly is ill, and Julian Malatini is training individually. Also unavailable are Niklas Stark, Maximilian Wöber, Amos Pieper, Mitchell Weiser, and Victor Boniface.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Deniz Aytekin has been appointed as the referee for the match. In his last 10 officiated games, the average total of yellow cards is 4.8. The home team averages 1.5 yellow cards per match in the league, while the visitors average 2.1. We opt for over 3.5 yellow cards, a bet that came through in their first-round encounter.
⚽ Goal Prediction
In four of their last five away games, the Bremen club failed to score. Considering Freiburg have not conceded more than one goal at home in nine consecutive matches, we choose Werder's individual total under 1.5 goals.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Freiburg average 4.4 corners per game, while Werder average 4.6. We select total corners under 10.5, which has been successful in 8 of the last 9 home games and in 10 of the last 11 head-to-head meetings between these clubs.
Editor's Prediction
The home team are expected to have the upper hand in this match, and given Werder's current form, we predict a Freiburg victory. Daniel Thioune won't be able to completely overhaul the team in just a few days, meaning the Bremen side will still be playing under Horst Steffen's legacy, which hasn't been successful so far. Freiburg have been solid at home and will be eager to maintain their push for European competition, which requires them to keep winning, at least on their own turf. Our predicted score is 2-0.
