Freiburg will host Werder Bremen at Europa-Park-Stadion on Friday in another round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. The home side look to have hit their stride this month and have rapidly climbed up the table with the Champions League spots now within touching distance.
They beat St. Pauli 1-0 in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a goalless draw after Vincenzo Grifo squandered a first-half penalty kick before a late own goal from the newly-promoted side saw Julian Schuster's men leave the Millerntor-Stadion with maximum points.
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, have endured a disappointing start to the year and have dropped into the bottom half of the pile. They were beaten 3-1 by Hoffenheim in their last match, taking the lead in the opening 10 minutes following an own goal from Stanley Nsoki before their opponents came from behind to win the game in the second half.
The visitors sit 10th in the Bundesliga with 30 points from 22 matches and will be keen to get their campaign back on track this weekend.
