Freiburg vs B. Monchengladbach prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-11-03 14:30.
Freiburg have had a turbulent start to this Bundesliga campaign, currently sitting in ninth position with a draw splitting the difference of four wins and four losses in their opening nine league games. Two of those defeats worryingly came in their last three Bundesliga outings (W1), but only few would argue losing against 11-time running title holders Bayern Munich and current high-flying league leaders Bayer Leverkusen is a cause for concern.
Besides, both those losses came on the road, while at home Christian Streich’s men could be victorious in four of their opening five home Bundesliga matches with a win here (L1), something achieved only once in Freiburg’s history. It’s seemingly a perfect time to take on Borussia Mönchengladbach then, since they haven’t lost any of their last 15 home Bundesliga H2Hs (W10, D5), Freiburg’s longest run against any team without defeat at home in the competition.
The visitors will be arriving at the Europa-Park Stadion with confidence though after picking up back-to-back wins, albeit against the same opponent – Heidenheim at home – winning 3-1 in midweek DFB-Pokal action just three days after a 2-1 victory in the Bundesliga. That was only Gladbach’s second league win this season, which explains why they’re four points worse off than their hosts.
Perhaps hitting the road will do Gerardo Seoane’s men some good, as they were undefeated on their travels this season before losing to Cologne in their last away match (W2, D2). Fireworks seem to fly whenever the Foals travel, since their last seven away games have all featured more than three goals, while they’ve scored in nine successive away trips themselves.
Key battle: Freiburg defender Philipp Lienhart enjoys a game against Gladbach, scoring three goals in his last six H2Hs and keeping clean sheets in three of the most recent four encounters. He’ll also have his hands full with Gladbach’s Alassane Pléa who’ll be looking early on to add to his two goals against Freiburg, since 13 of his last 15 goals have come before half-time.
Hot stat: Freiburg have scored half of their ten Bundesliga goals this season between the 31st minute and half-time.
