Freiburg vs Augsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-08-22 13:30.
[p]The first matchday of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season features Freiburg against Augsburg, both of whom won their DFB-Pokal first-round ties by a 2-0 scoreline last weekend. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Last season proved to be one to remember for Freiburg and their fans as they finished fifth – the club’s joint-highest finish in the Bundesliga since 1994/95. That final position was sealed with a return of four wins from their last six league outings (D1, L1), and having progressed in the cup at the weekend, they will enter the weekend full of confidence. The loss of star winger Ritsu Dōan to Eintracht Frankfurt this summer may have dampened spirits somewhat, but talent has arrived in his place as the hosts here look to give another good account of themselves this term. [/p]
[p]Last season also proved successful for visiting Augsburg against many pre-season predictions, as the relegation-touted outfit finished comfortably in mid-table (12th). An impressive unbeaten run of 11 league games between mid-January and late March (W6, D5) highlighted their overall quality, although a four-match losing streak to end the campaign may have their travelling faithful concerned ahead of this short trip west, especially as they conceded 2+ goals in each of those fixtures. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Freiburg have lost just one of their last 13 Bundesliga matches against Augsburg since the start of February 2019 (W8, D4), with the visitors here having tasted defeat in 11 of their 13 top-flight away H2Hs overall (W1, D1). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
