Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Werder Bremen and Freiburg face each other at Weserstadion in the Bundesliga round 21. Die Werderaner were not in action at the weekend as their game against Arminia Bielefeld was cancelled due to water-logged pitch, meaning that tired legs are unlikely to prove to be a problem for the hosts. Werder Bremen, though, are not regarded as good hosts, with the team eyeing their only third home win of the process.
Freiburg, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund. Christian Streich’s troops have been impressive at home ground of late, but seeing that they have been anything but brilliant on the road in 2021, share of spoils is on the cards at Weserstadion. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in six of Werder’s previous seven league fixtures.
Highlighted Player (Theodor Gebre Selassie):
Born to Ethiopian father and Czech mother, Theodor Gebre Selassie was the first ever player of African descent to represent the Czech Republic national team when he was handed his debut back in 2011. The right-sided defender has since done well to nail down a regular starting berth and went on to play at the Euro 2012 and Euro 2016 finals.
Gebre Selassie represented the likes of Vysocina Jihlava, Velke Mezirici, Slavia Prague and Slovan Liberec, before the solid showing at the 2012 European Championship helped him earn a move to Werder Bremen.
The right back has performed well at the Weserstadion, but he eventually lost his place in the Czech Republic starting XI, making just three appearances during the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. However, having amassed over 30 appearances for the national team with a proud history, he can be quite satisfied with how his international career has panned out so far, while there is still time to further raise his stock.
Highlighted Team (Freiburg):
