Borussia M'gladbach - Freiburg predictions

Borussia M'gladbach are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Freiburg may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

Freiburg are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 3.29 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

The host are coming off from an away match which could have easily gotten them a surprising victory despite the unfavourable odds (3.28). Their first-half lead ended up being a huge point however and they won’t be too disappointed heading into the Saturday clash.

Unlike in this match, Freiburg had the support of their home fans in the previous matchup. Unfortunately, they were still the clear underdogs compared to Borussia Dortmund and predictably lost the game 1:4 after spending most of the runtime playing from behind.

Borussia M'Gladbach tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Bundesliga engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Bundesliga season. Borussia M'Gladbach narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 3.72 odds offer a decent return.
