This is an interesting duel between two teams from the bottom of the table, which are still fearing for survival in Bundesliga. The results of Freiburg are seemingly good because they rarely lose matches, however, they were defeated in the last round and have had a lot of draws lately and are currently only five points above the relegation zone with two more than Werder, which is just above that zone. Nevertheless, Werder is undefeated in the previous three rounds, with the elimination from the Cup, in which they mastered Freiburg in the round of sixteen. In the first championship duel this season, they played a goalless draw in Bremen.
The brilliant series of nine championship matches without defeat has brought Freiburg an escape from the dangerous zone, but due to the many unresolved results in that series, they did not move too far. In the previous round, this positive series was interrupted by defeat in Hannover and immediately the situation is different, because the most endangered teams got closer, so Freiburg cannot be calm. Particularly important is this duel, given that Werder is lower on the table, so eventual victory would have a special value.
They were not outplayed in Hannover last weekend, but they have shown a weaker edition than in previous matches when they remained undefeated against much stronger Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen. Haberer was absent due to suspension, and Kempf jumped into a slightly changed formation. Now P.Stenzel and Haberer are back, while Terrazzino will be the refreshment in attack.
Probable lineups SC Freiburg: Schwolow – Soyuncu, Gulde, Kempf – P.Stenzel, C.Gunter – R.Koch – Hofler, Haberer, Terrazzino – Petersen
Werder is getting better and more dangerous for their rivals and they are slowly moving away from the dangerous zone, though they are still endangered and there is no room for relaxation. They have achieved the first two victories this season, with the proviso that they have only played a draw once this time, so they are now three matches without any defeat, if we do not count the Cup, where they provided an excellent resistance against Bayer Leverkusen. In the championships, they first defeated Schalke as guests, and this is a very valuable win, after which they also celebrated against Wolfsburg with 3-1.
After Gelsenkirchen, coach Kohfeldt made three changes for the Cup match with Leverkusen and they were good again and in the last round only Bargfrede returned to the midfield instead of Delaney and everything seemed to be even better on the field. Kainz was great with two goals, and midfielder Junuzovic was also excellent with two assists and now it seems they have a winning combination when it comes to the team. Kohfeld will not change anything unless he is forced to, because Bargfrede and Johannsson are struggling with injuries, so Delaney and Belfodil are prepared to jump in.
Probable lineups Werder Bremen: Pavlenka – Gebre Selassie, Veljkovic, Moisander, Augustinsson – Bargfrede(Delaney) – Junuzovic, M.Eggestein – Kainz, Johannsson(Belfodil) – M.Kruse
Freiburg does not play badly, but they often paly draws, and Werder is playing better and better, which makes this an interesting match, where we expect strikers to take the lead and at least one goal in both networks.
Pick: both teams to score
