Borussia Dortmund - Freiburg predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.66, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Freiburg will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Borussia Dortmund hit a snag in their Bundesliga campaign last week as they lost 3:1 to Mainz 05 despite being marked as the favourites in that matchup. Moreover, they were completely unable to get into their stride and were behind for most of the game’s runtime.

Freiburg’s previous away game versus Union Berlin was fairly uneventful, which isn’t necessarily bad for them. Considering their victory was priced at odds of 2.46 with most top bookmakers online, things were expected to go much worse for them.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Borussia Dortmund will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

The previous two Bundesliga clashes Freiburg played ended with either one goal on the board or none at all. That doesn’t make for exciting viewing, but it can signal a decent Under 5 Goals opportunity.

The hosts are in a solid position as number 7th in the standings, but more is expected of them. Another 3 points here will do great in getting them closer to the top, which seems like a likely outcome.

The Borussia D. will be looking to repeated last season’s successes in this matchup – they have several consecutive victories on record, each with a decisive goal difference. They’re likely to do so, too – they are widely regarded as the clear favourites.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Manuel Gulde, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Merlin Röhl are the players that will be missing, which makes the Freiburg lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.60 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
