Freiburg host Hamburg in a clash between two sides showing contrasting recent form. As Julian Schuster’s men are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict a 2-1 win. The hosts have been impressive of late, unbeaten in four of their last five games and scoring 3.40 goals per match on average, with a particularly strong home record of 2.60 points per game. Freiburgâs attack has been potent, averaging 2 goals per match and keeping clean sheets in 60% of home games, while their expected goals of 1.97 at home underline their attacking efficiency. Cyriaque Irie remains on international duty, but the rest of the squad is available.Die Rothosen, on the other hand, head into Saturday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, struggling away from home with just 0.75 points per away match and conceding 2.25 goals on average in away fixtures. They are prone to both scoring and conceding, reflected in a 50% BTTS rate away. H2H history slightly favours Freiburg, who have won 7 of the last 18 encounters.
