Werder Bremen vs Freiburg Prediction 20 September 2025
🔊 The Saturday afternoon slate of Bundesliga's Matchday 4 will conclude with a clash at the Weserstadion in Bremen, where the local side Werder will aim to extend their winning streak against Freiburg. Freiburg also secured their first victory of the season in the previous round. Historically, Bremen have the upper hand in this fixture, but they've lost 5 of their last 6 encounters with Freiburg, with the other match ending in a draw. Can Werder finally put an end to their poor run against the "Brazilians of Breisgau"? Bookmakers believe they can, but we advise holding off on placing bets-let's first break down this match in our prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 Last season, Freiburg defeated Werder Bremen twice. In the first round at the Weserstadion, the visitors secured all three points with a narrow 1-0 victory, and in the second meeting, they delivered a thrashing at the Europa-Park Stadion, winning 5-0. Overall, though, the historical stats favor Werder Bremen: they have 16 victories compared to Freiburg's 9, with 9 draws. However, in their last 6 encounters, Bremen have managed just one win, while Freiburg have consistently come out on top in the remaining matches.

Werder Bremen Team Overview
🟢 In the third round, Werder Bremen secured their first victory of the season with a commanding 4-0 away win over Borussia Mönchengladbach. Samuel Mbangula opened the scoring in the 15th minute, receiving the ball on the right flank, bursting into the box, and unleashing a powerful strike under the crossbar. Just 11 minutes later, his assist allowed Jens Stage to steer the ball into the far corner, doubling the visitors' lead. Midway through the second half, Mbangula was involved again, winning a penalty that Romano Schmid confidently converted. Substitute Justin Njinmah sealed the rout with a delicate touch that guided the ball into the far corner, marking a comprehensive victory. This win was Werder's first in Gladbach since 2010 and lifted "the Musicians" to 9th place in the standings with 4 points (1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss). Facing Freiburg next, Steffen's side has a great opportunity to continue their ascent.

Freiburg Team Overview
⚫ Freiburg secured their first win of the season by defeating Stuttgart 3-1, despite trailing until the 81st minute. Former club player Ermedin Demirović put the visitors ahead in the 20th minute, and for a long time, the hosts struggled to equalize. It wasn't until nine minutes before full-time that Igor Matanović leveled the score with a one-touch finish from Kübler's pass. Five minutes later, Derry Scherhant gave Freiburg the lead, and in stoppage time, Matanović converted a penalty earned by Joan Manzambi to complete his brace and seal the match. Even 10 added minutes couldn't dampen the celebrations at the Europa-Park Stadion. The only downside was Joan Manzambi's red card for a reckless challenge in the 98th minute. After three rounds, Freiburg have 3 points and sit 13th in the table. A win in Bremen would allow Schuster's side to overtake Werder and move closer to the top half of the standings.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
At the Weserstadion, referee Timo Gerach will be in charge. Over his last 10 matches, he has averaged 3.7 yellow cards per game. The head-to-head average for these teams stands at 2.76. Betting on over 3.5 yellow cards seems justified, as this has been the case in all of both clubs' matches this season.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Freiburg have scored against Werder in their last six consecutive encounters, winning five of those games. While we won't predict the match winner, the bet on both teams to score (yes) appears reliable: both Werder and Freiburg have found the net in every Bundesliga match so far, even in losses.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In three rounds, Werder have managed only 8 corners (an average of 2.7), while Freiburg have taken 17 (an average of 5.7). We're opting for a bet on over 7.5 corners, which has been successful in all of both teams' matches this season.
Editorial Prediction
Both teams enter the match riding a wave of victories, and their games this season have been high-scoring, with no fewer than four goals in each encounter so far. Their head-to-head clashes also show a high scoring average of 3.3 goals per game. Werder are seen as slight favorites, but Freiburg have won five of their last six meetings against them. We anticipate an exciting match with over 2.5 goals and a possible draw at 2-2.
