High-flying Freiburg open their 2026-27 Bundesliga campaign at home to Werder Bremen on Sunday, looking to continue their winning start to the season.
The Breisgau Brazilians began with a 3-1 away win over Scottish side Motherwell in the Europa Conference League playoffs, before smashing them 4-1 at home to secure their place in the tournament with a 7-2 aggregate playoff victory.
Thanks for the submission!
Between their European conquests was another convincing 5-1 victory over Fortuna Dusseldorf in the DFB-Pokal first round, as Julian Schuster’s side boast a 100% win record in the new campaign.
With so much momentum under their belt, Freiburg will be confident of taking down a Werder Bremen side that narrowly avoided relegation last season.
The River Islanders won just eight games all season and collected a meager 32 points from 34 games to finish above relegation playoff candidate Wolfsburg by a whisker.
Now in their fifth consecutive top-flight season since promotion in 2022, Daniel Thioune’s side warmed up for the opening fixture with a comfortable 3-0 win on the road against LSK Hansa in the DFB-Pokal.
Jens Stage fired Bremen in front after 11 minutes before returning hero Niclas Fullkrug, joining on loan from West Ham, scored a penalty in the 53rd minute. Ludovit Reis, another new signing, added a third in the final quarter of the match.
