Freiburg will be aiming to build on their successful preseason when they face Werder Bremen at Europa-Park Stadion in the Bundesliga round 1. The hosts cruised past Fortuna Dusseldorf 5-1 in their German Cup opener, with Igor Matanovic scoring twice and emerging as the man to watch. Freiburg have also won 60% of their last 10 home matches, while averaging 2.0 goals per game on home soil. Johan Manzambi has left for Aston Villa, but the hosts still look well equipped going forward.
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, made a comfortable start to their competitive campaign by beating Lüneburger Hansa 3-0 in the German Cup. However, their overall form is less convincing, and they have struggled defensively, conceding in eight of their last 10 matches. Karim Koulibaly’s move to Strasbourg is another defensive blow. Although Werder boast a strong 75% away win rate in their recent sample, Freiburg’s momentum and home advantage make them our main pick.
Given Freiburg's excellent preseason and strong home form, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Freiburg Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (58% of the H2Hs have produced three or more goals).
This Bundesliga match will be played on Sunday 30 August 2026 at 14:30.
