Freiburg vs Dortmund prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-04-04 13:30.
[p]Freiburg missed a golden opportunity to move into the European places last weekend as they let slip a 1-0 lead in a 2-1 defeat against Union Berlin. Now on their longest winless run under Julian Schuster (D3, L1), Freiburg can at least provisionally break back into the top six should they end that streak here as they lurk within touching distance of Leipzig and Gladbach above.Ā [/p]
[p]Remaining in the Black Forest should be a positive, as Freiburg have picked up an impressive 17 home points this season against sides starting this round 12th or higher. Despite their solid home record, Freiburg may be at a psychological disadvantage as they welcome another one of those sides in Borussia Dortmund, who have beaten them by a multi-goal margin in each of the last six H2Hs.Ā [/p]
[p]Continuing that fine H2H form will be key as Dortmund continue to pick up the pieces of what is so far their worst season in a decade, languishing in the bottom half and at least 15 points worse off than at the same stage in five of the last six campaigns. Sitting four points behind Freiburg, this game will have huge implications for Dortmund as they aim for a European finish after a mixed Bundesliga start to Niko KovaÄās reign (W3, L4).Ā [/p]
[p]This marks the start of a huge period for Dortmund, who face a two-legged UEFA Champions League quarter-final with Barcelona and a Der Klassiker against Bayern Munich in the three games after this clash. That could lead to a cautious approach from KovaÄ here, but with just one away league win this season against sides starting this round above them in the table (D1, L4), heād be wise not to put too much focus on those upcoming games.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Ritsu DÅan is enjoying his finest Bundesliga season in terms of goal contributions (G8, A6), but heās never contributed to a Bundesliga goal against Dortmund, also losing all seven personal career H2Hs. Maximilian Beier has scored three goals across his last three Dortmund appearances, while heās also contributed to three goals across his last two personal H2Hs with Freiburg (G2, A1).Ā [/p]
[p]Hot stat: The last six H2Hs produced an average of 4.83 goals per game.Ā [/p]
