ℹ️ Team News: Freiburg

Christian Günter (Fractured Arm) and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be able to feature for Freiburg boss Christian Streich.

It’s our opinion that Freiburg should opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, utilising Noah Atubolu, Manuel Gulde, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Lukas Kuebler, Maximilian Eggestein, Nicolas Hoefler, Ritsu Doan, Lucas Hoeler, Roland Sallai and Michael Gregoritsch.

It’s our belief that Dortmund will likely utilise a 4-3-3 system, choosing Gregor Kobel, Julian Ryerson, Mats Hummels, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini, Marcel Sabitzer, Emre Can, Julian Brandt, Donyell Malen, Sebastien Haller and Karim Adeyemi.

💭 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Freiburg are certainly able to score a goal against this Borussia Dortmund side, but a single goal likely won’t prevent defeat.

We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-2 victory for Borussia Dortmund after the 90. Should be a good one.
