There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Bundesliga table so far. Here's the Freiburg - Hertha BSC latest:

Insights:
  • Freiburg have scored in all their home matches so far.
  • Hertha BSC have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

The hosts Freiburg saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Bundesliga. That game was an away game at Schalke 04, so at least Freiburg are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Hertha BSC have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Freiburg enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Schalke 04's place. The match ended 2-0 with Roland Sallai (2) scoring. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Arminia Bielefeld.
