SC Freiburg's overall Bundesliga record this term: 4W 2D 4L from 10 games (1.40 PPG). Last five: W L D L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.80 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. Werder Bremen haven't played a Bundesliga game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.40 PPG for SC Freiburg against 1.00 for Werder Bremen. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

H2H Analysis

The head-to-head record favours SC Freiburg, who have won 7 of the last 9 meetings against Werder Bremen — a 1D 1W return for the visitors.

The 9 previous meetings have averaged 2.2 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 7 Feb 2026, ended 1–0 with SC Freiburg winning.

The historical record gives SC Freiburg a meaningful edge here — 7 wins from 9 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Freiburg 1.80 xG and Werder Bremen 1.25 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: SC Freiburg attack 1.032 / defence 0.978 | Werder Bremen attack 0.920 / defence 0.929. League average goals — home 1.884 / away 1.388. Data: 34 SC Freiburg games / 34 Werder Bremen games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: SC Freiburg 49% | Draw 25% | Werder Bremen 25%. Fair-value odds: SC Freiburg 2.04 | Draw 4.00 | Werder Bremen 4.00. SC Freiburg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.05. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.05 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.80 / 1.25) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, SC Freiburg are the pick at 49% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on SC Freiburg if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 3.05 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 61% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: SC Freiburg 80% | Werder Bremen 40% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (34 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
