Dortmund vs Freiburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-02-03 14:30.
Courtesy of three consecutive wins since the resumption of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund have re-emerged as Bundesliga title contenders after moving within striking distance of leaders Bayern Munich. After beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in their last outing, head coach Edin TerziÄ described his side as ādeserved winnersā, despite netting with their only two shots on target of the contest.
Returning to Signal Iduna Park should instill confidence among the Dortmund players too, as theyāve lost just once on their own turf in all competitions this term (W7, D3). Scoring first has been a pivotal foundation of their strong home form in the Bundesliga, illustrated by BVB conceding the opening goal just once in league action at home.
That could therefore spell trouble for Freiburg as they possess a dreadful H2H record on Dortmundās territory, winning just once in the last 22 meetings (D3, L18). Overall troubles on the road are plaguing Christian Streichās men, who have won just one of their last six Bundesliga away games (D2, L3), with those three defeats seeing them concede 14 goals!
Freiburg did get back to winning ways in beating Augsburg 3-1 at home in their latest fixture, leaving them level on points with Dortmund in a jam packed top six, although they sat outside of the top four on goal difference going into this round. Correcting that likely depends on improving their rearguard on the road, as Streichās men have conceded 18 of their 25 goals away from home this term – only four sides have let in more.
Players to watch: Dortmund star Jude Bellingham has already scored ten goals across all competitions this season, also enjoying the spoils of his side winning all seven Bundesliga games when heās been on the scoresheet. He could be tasked with outclassing Freiburgās Vincenzo Grifo, who has had a direct hand in 12 of his sideās 29 league goals this term.
Hot streak: Dortmund have now completed 111 consecutive Bundesliga games without a 0-0 draw, as well as 84 straight league games at Signal Iduna Park!
