Freiburg - Augsburg betting tips and odds

Freiburg are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Augsburg winning, though.

Augsburg stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 6.25 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Freiburg will be expected to put in a much better display than their last round’s outing. Playing as hosts certainly did not do them any favours as they were forced to chase the first-half deficit in order to close the game with a Eintracht Frankfurt draw.

Top online bookmakers expected Augsburg to lose their previous Bundesliga match even though they played as the hosts. Defying the 2.26 betting odds, they ultimately won the bout 1:0 after a draw at halftime, indicating a stronger form than bookies give them credit for.

The first step Freiburg need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Freiburg’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Kimberly Ezekwem, Roland Sallai, Merlin Röhl will have to sit this one out, while Augsburg will have to make do without Iago, Reece Oxford, Tobias Strobl, Ruben Vargas, Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee, André Hahn, Irvin Cardona.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.70 at William Hill.
