Freiburg vs Bochum prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-09-13 13:30.
[p]After finishing tenth in the Bundesliga in 2023/24, Freiburg have made a start to this campaign that already points towards the club finishing in a similar spot this time round. After beating last term’s second-placed finishers Stuttgart in style in a 3-1 opening-weekend victory, they were swiftly brought back down to earth by Bayern Munich heading into the first international break of the season, the latest example of how inconsistent the Breisgau Brazilians are.[/p]
[p]That most recent loss made it one win from seven league games for Freiburg (D3, L3), who have proven themselves to be weak defensively in recent times. A return of just one clean sheet across that spell highlights that, although a return of three shutouts in their last five meetings with Bochum could at least indicate a shift in form in this encounter. [/p]
[p]Each of those five fixtures in the Bundesliga has seen Freiburg triumph, so visiting Bochum will make the long trip south wary of that run extending any further, especially as it already represents their longest ongoing losing league streak against any opponent. More misery in this H2H seems fairly likely however, as the Undescendables have made a poor start to this campaign after suffering defeats to nil against both RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach. [/p]
[p]After only preserving their top-flight status by virtue of a dramatic relegation play-off victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf in May, Bochum need to get their act together fairly quickly if they’re to avoid another bottom-three finish in 2024/25. Improving their away form will be crucial to those hopes, as no side won fewer points on their Bundesliga travels last term (10), while their record of eight outings without scoring across their last 18 road trips in the division can only be surpassed by Union Berlin. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Freiburg right-back Lukas Kübler has had an impressive start to the season with two goals and he could be his side’s lucky omen here thanks to his solid personal career league record against Saturday’s visitors, during which he’s netted once (W4, D2, L1). Bochum will be hoping that new signing Myron Boadu can open his account for the club here, as a win is likely to follow based on the outcome of his prior top-flight goalscoring appearances (W32, D3, L1)![/p]
[p]Hot stat: Bochum’s last 11 away Bundesliga matches have averaged 3.6 total goals scored. [/p]
