Freiburg vs Hoffenheim prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-09-27 13:30.
[p]Sunday’s Bundesliga action gets underway in the Black Forest where Freiburg will welcome a Hoffenheim side locked alongside them on six points after four games. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Freiburg’s season seems to be going from strength to strength after following up their 3-0 triumph in Bremen last Saturday with success in their UEFA Europa League opener against Basel (2-1). Julian Schuster’s men did have a tricky start to their Bundesliga campaign with a pair of defeats, but they enter this round of fixtures on the cusp of the top six and can keep the early pressure on with another win here. Playing at home may provide a boost for the Breisgau Brazilians, as they have scored in each of their last seven such league matches, although the hosts’ record in those games has been poor (W2, D1, L4). [/p]
[p]Also sitting outside the top six on goal difference ahead of the weekend, Hoffenheim make the relatively short trip to Freiburg, with the added bonus of extra preparation time for this encounter thanks to their lack of European participation. Many will forgive Die Kraichgauer for their 4-1 loss at the hands of rampant defending champions Bayern Munich in the previous round, although the weight of expectation may return here as they have made a perfect away start to the Bundesliga season (W2) as they look to replicate their strongest top-flight start to a campaign on the road in history from 2023/24 (W5). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Since Hoffenheim’s last H2H victory, a 2-1 away triumph in December 2021, they have failed to claim victory in seven straight Bundesliga matches against Freiburg (D2, L5) – their longest ongoing winless run against any side currently in the division. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
