Confirmed line-ups: SC Freiburg v Werder Bremen | OneFootball

The Bundesliga returns on Matchday one as Freiburg host Werder Bremen at Europa-Park Stadion, and the teams are confirmed.

With around an hour until kick-off, BuLi News reports that Mio Backhaus starts for Freiburg against his former club.

Freiburg line up in a four-two-three-one. Backhaus in goal, with a back four of Kübler, Ginter, Lienhart and Makengo. Eggestein and Engelhardt anchor midfield, with Beste, Suzuki and Scherhant behind Matanović.

Werder go four-three-three. Hein starts, with Schmetgens, Pieper, Friedl and Deman in defence. Chuky, Reis and Lynen in midfield, Njinmah, Füllkrug and Grüll lead the line.

Julian Schuster’s side aim to improve on last season and push back toward Europe, with a Europa League place potentially within reach. Bremen’s primary target is survival after finishing 15th in 2025/26, with Füllkrug expected to play a key role.
