Darmstadt 98 - Freiburg predictions

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Freiburg.

Most bookies see Freiburg as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 1.92, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

Although Darmstadt 98 are coming on the back of a harsh 4:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Mainz 05 , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

The visiting team are coming on the back of an HT/FT defeat in their most recent home game, which was painful but quite expected. As a point of reference, top online bookmakers priced their victory at no less than 1.72, indicating they never had much of a shot in the first place.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Freiburg’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 7 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

A new defeat would come quite costly for Darmstadt 98 this late into the Bundesliga season but that’s exactly what Freiburg are here to do. The hosts are deep in the 18th place and will be forced to fight tooth and nail if they want to avoid relegation.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Bundesliga. Freiburg were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 1.92 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Marvin Mehlem, Fabian Nürnberger, Fraser Hornby are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Tan Jerico Schmidt, Noah Weißhaupt, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Max Rosenfelder will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Freiburg, though.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 2.55 odds offered at 1xbet are more than fair in terms of value.
