Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Werder Bremen will be aiming to put an end to their five-match winless run when they take on Freiburg on Sunday afternoon. Die Werderaner are stuck in the middle of the table with 32 points on their account, meaning that they have little to play for in the season finale. Defensive duo Amos Pieper – Felix Agu remains in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Christian Streich’s men, on the other hand, failed to spoil Bayern Munich’s party at the weekend, but despite the defeat they remained in the Champions League race. Freiburg want this win more than Werder Bremen, and given the home team’s poor form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Champions League-chasing visitors. Both Manuel Gulde and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh are out of contention through injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Oliver Burke):
A product of the Nottingham Forest football academy, Oliver Burke made his domestic debut in 2014, when he was only 17 years of age. Born in Kirkcaldy, Oliver Burke is the captain of Scotland Under-21 side who’s faced plenty of criticism ever since leaving the Championship side.
Having left Forest for Red Bull Leipzig in 2016 in a £13 million deal Oliver Burke became the most expensive Scottish player in history, whereas his hit the record book all over again the very next year when West Bromwich Albion saved him from a German misery in a £15 million deal. Burke was regularly praised for his physical ability during his time in the Bundesliga, but Leipzig coaching staff had plenty of tactical questions hanging over his head.
A precocious talent who had only scraped the surface of his own potential, Burke is looking to get his career back on track. Despite being only 21 years of age, Burke already has 5 senior appearances for Scotland under his belt.
