Freiburg continue their push for Champions League qualification on Friday when they host Werder Bremen at Europa-Park Stadion in their 23rd Bundesliga match of the season. The home side sit in fifth place with 36 points, just one behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig, while Werder Bremen are 10th with 30 points and looking to recover from a 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim.

Freiburg secured a third consecutive 1-0 victory last week against St Pauli, though their performance was far from convincing, managing only two shots inside the penalty area. However, their defensive solidity has been impressive, keeping as many clean sheets in their last three games as they did in their previous 16. Despite scoring just 29 goals—the sixth-lowest tally in the league—they remain firmly in the top-four race. Their home record is excellent, with eight wins from 10 matches at Europa-Park Stadion, including four of their last five.

Werder Bremen, on the other hand, have struggled in recent weeks, winning just once in their last seven league outings. Their 3-1 defeat to Hoffenheim was marked by wasteful finishing, as they failed to score from open play despite creating good chances and hitting the woodwork twice. Defensively, they have been vulnerable, conceding 17 goals in their last seven matches, including three in each of their last two. Their away form has also been concerning, going winless in their last three road games while conceding nine goals.

In terms of team news, Freiburg will be without Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Manuel Gulde due to injuries, but key players like Matthias Ginter, Vincenzo Grifo, and Ritsu Doan are expected to start. Werder Bremen remain without Keke Topp, while Milos Veljkovic is a doubt after going off against Hoffenheim. Andre Silva is likely to start up front in Topp’s absence.

Prediction: Freiburg’s recent defensive solidity and strong home form make them favorites against a struggling Werder Bremen side. A win for the hosts seems likely as they continue their push for a top-four finish.

周五，弗赖堡将在欧罗巴公园球场主场迎战云达不莱梅，这是他们本赛季第23场德甲比赛，弗赖堡将继续为欧冠资格而战。主队以36分排名第五，仅落后第四的莱比锡1分，而云达不莱梅以30分排名第十，他们希望能从1:3输给霍芬海姆的比赛中恢复过来。

弗赖堡上周以1比0连续第三次战胜圣保利，尽管他们的表现远不能令人信服，在禁区内只有两次射门。然而，他们的防守稳固令人印象深刻，在最近三场比赛中保持了与之前16场比赛一样多的零封。尽管他们只进了29球，在联赛中排名第六，但他们仍然稳居前四。他们的主场战绩非常出色，在欧罗巴公园球场的10场比赛中取得了8场胜利，其中包括最近5场比赛中的4场。

另一方面，云达不莱梅最近几周表现不佳，在过去的七场联赛中只赢了一场。他们3-1不敌霍芬海姆的特点是射门浪费，尽管他们创造了很好的机会，并两次击中门框，但他们没有在空档时进球。在防守方面，他们一直很脆弱，在过去的七场比赛中丢了17球，其中最近两场比赛各丢3球。他们的客场状态也令人担忧，在最近的三场客场比赛中一胜未得，丢了9个球。

在球队方面，由于伤病，弗莱堡将失去丹尼尔-科菲·凯雷和曼努埃尔·古尔德，但像马蒂亚斯·金特、文森佐·格里福和多恩这样的关键球员有望首发。云达不莱梅仍然没有托普，而在对阵霍芬海姆的比赛中受伤的维利科维奇也不确定。安德烈-席尔瓦很可能在托普缺阵的情况下首发。

预测：弗赖堡最近稳固的防守和强劲的主场表现使他们成为了对阵云达不莱梅的热门球队。东道主很有可能赢得一场胜利，他们将继续向前四挺进。
