Freiburg - Hoffenheim predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Hoffenheim are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Freiburg should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Freiburg on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The hosts failed to secure anything better than a draw in the previous round, despite boasting home-field advantage and generally favourable betting odds. It’s hardly a disaster, but they missed a solid shot at winning some points for this season’s Bundesliga campaign. Worse yet, the overall apathetic performance was not a good look for the fans in the Schwarzwald-Stadion.

The away team are here on the back of a painful 3:0 loss at Bayern München, but it’s hard to blame them too much. After all, they were facing both insurmountably long odds and a home-field disadvantage, so not many believed they ever had a real shot.

Hoffenheim’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 9 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 2.07 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Freiburg won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Christian Günter, Tan Jerico Schmidt, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh for the hosts, and Dennis Geiger, Marco John, Mergim Berisha for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 4.35. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
