Werder Bremen faces SC Freiburg on Saturday, seeking to end its goal drought against the Breisgauer. It has been more than two years since Werder Bremen last scored a goal against SC Freiburg. On January 27, 2024, debutant Julian Malatini scored shortly after his first substitution in the Werder jersey in the final phase to make it 3-1. Since then, the Bremer have not scored a single goal in three duels against the Breisgauer. Daniel Thioune could be a good omen as the new coach, as he has won his first league game in each of his three previous coaching positions. Other players like Justin Njinmah, Karim Coulibaly, and Julian Malatini can reach a special milestone on the away trip to southern Baden-Württemberg. Justin Njinmah is about to play his 75th competitive game in the green and white jersey. Additionally, the two center-backs Karim Coulibaly and Julian Malatini could reach the next small milestones in their still young careers. While Coulibaly is about to play his 20th Bundesliga game, Malatini could be used for the 30th time in a competitive game for Werder Bremen. But the focus is on the game against SC Freiburg, where Werder Bremen desperately needs a win. So Daniel Thioune could be an important factor as the new coach to motivate the team and lead them to success. The last coach of SV Werder Bremen to win his Bundesliga debut was Viktor Skripnik. Since then, only Ole Werner has directly won his Werder debut. But Daniel Thioune has already shown at his three previous coaching positions that he is a good coach who can motivate his teams.
