Borussia Dortmund vs Freiburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 04/02/2023, 02:07  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Prediction

Borussia Dortmund will seek to extend their good start to 2023 when they play host to Freiburg in their next game in the German Bundesliga. The hosts are on three straight wins since the turn of the year and go to this game placed fourth on 34 points, and Freiburg have a similar tally but are fifth. This is set to be a grueling top four battle and Dortmund will be counting on both their recent form and home support. After two straight away matches, they will be happy to be back at home. In the last four league games, Dortmund have scored two or more goals in each but their only clean sheet in five has come in the 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the last game. They come into this game having failed to score in just one of their last five league matches. At home, Dortmund are unbeaten in six league matches, with five wins. They have scored three or more goals in each of the last three home league matches, while they have three clean sheets in five home league games.

Freiburg started the year badly, suffering a 6-0 away loss at Wolfsburg, but they have been growing in strength since then. They are coming from a 3-1 win at home to Augsburg, their first win of 2023. The one thing they haven’t gotten right yet is the defending, as they have conceded in each of their three matches this year. Freiburg have actually managed no clean sheet in their last five league matches, and they have two wins in the five games. On the attacking front, they have done well, scoring in all but one of their last eight matches in Bundesliga. Their away run is poor, the team having won just once in the last six league matches on the road. They have three losses in the last four league matches away from home, and some of these have been heavy, falling 5-0, 3-1 and 6-0 to Bayern Munich, Leipzig and Wolfsburg respectively.
