Key statistics
- Both teams have played a first-half draw in four of their last five meetings.
- Freiburg have won four of their last five encounters against Bremen.

Correct score prediction: Bremen 1-2 Freiburg
The Breisgau Brazilians will be looking to build on their recent win when they face Bremen and we are predicting a 2-1 victory for the visitors. The away side have the quality to turn the tide and build momentum. They have shown resilience in past games and can take advantage of Bremen’s defensive weaknesses.
The River Islanders’ defence has already looked shaky this season, which gives Freiburg a good chance to find the net. The Breisgau Brazilians will be motivated to respond and prove they can claim an important away win.

One player Freiburg fans will be eager to watch is Igor Matanovic. The young forward has been showing great promise and brings an important presence to Freiburg’s attack.
In his last game, Matanovic came off the bench and scored two goals, proving his sharpness and impact as a substitute. With his growing confidence and eye for goal, he has the potential to be a decisive figure once again.
