SC Freiburg form and stats
3-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Bundesliga numbers at home for SC Freiburg, who have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Bundesliga, so far this season.
Happy days for Freiburg in their previous game, a Bundesliga match away at Borussia M'gladbach (placed 13th) that ended with a 6-0 victory. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Freiburg played a great game against Borussia M'gladbach and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. The 6-0 win against Borussia M'gladbach was decided after a strong and deadly first half, making the second half more of a journey towards the final whistle. Midfielder Nicolas Höfler was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.82 (out of ten) in that game. Höfler scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and had 24 successful passes (of 27 total).
Prior to that, an away loss at Bochum.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
