WWDDDL

Freiburg will be hoping for a better result after the 1-2 Bundesliga defeat in their last game at the hands of Union Berlin.

In that game, Freiburg managed 72% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Freiburg was Lucas Höler (29'). On the other side, Union Berlin got 10 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Rani Khedira (30') and Andrej Ilić (48') scored for Union Berlin.

Their latest results highlight the fact that things are going according to plan in the Freiburg backline. Freiburg have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous 6 matches standing at 4. We will see whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.

Their previous form shows that Freiburg:

• have not beaten Borussia Dortmund in their last 6 matches in the league.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Freiburg

Noah Atubolu (Shoulder injury), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Knee surgery), Merlin Röhl (Heel problems) and Bruno Ogbus (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be able to feature for Freiburg gaffer Julian Schuster.

In our view, Freiburg will probably go for a 4-4-1-1 formation, handing starts to Florian Mueller, Kilian Sildillia, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Christian Guenter, Ritsu Doan, Maximilian Eggestein, Patrick Osterhage, Vincenzo Grifo, Eren Dinkci and Nicolas Hoefler.

ℹ️ Team News: Borussia Dortmund

We are inclined to think that Dortmund seem likely to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Gregor Kobel, Waldemar Anton, Emre Can, Ramy Bensebaini, Julian Ryerson, Carney Chukwuemeka, Pascal Gross, Daniel Svensson, Julian Brandt, Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that Freiburg may find it difficult to register a score against this Borussia Dortmund team who we think should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a highly competitive game with a 0-1 win for Borussia Dortmund at the end of this one.

Let’s see how it plays out.
