Freiburg vs Dortmund prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-12-13 14:30.
[p]Two sides involved in midweek European competitions open Sunday’s Bundesliga action as Freiburg look to close the gap on the top six against high-flying Borussia Dortmund. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It has been a tough season for Freiburg so far, after their failure to see out a half-time lead in an eventual 2-1 loss at Heidenheim in the previous round left Julian Schuster’s men with their lowest points haul at this stage in seven years. They didn’t look particularly void of confidence when downing Salzburg 1-0 in Thursday night UEFA Europa League action, and given that they’re unbeaten in four of their five league games directly following European action this term (W2, D2), they look well placed to follow up that result here. A home return should only serve to raise Freiburg’s hopes as, since losing against Augsburg in their home league opener, Schuster’s side remain unbeaten in six domestic outings here (W4, D2). [/p]
[p]It’s a much brighter picture for visiting Dortmund, who arrive here comfortably within the top four with a higher points total than at the same stage of five of their last six campaigns. It’ll undoubtedly be hard for the Black and Yellows to see too many positives at present after they were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw against Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, but given that they’ve avoided defeat in their five league games directly following European fixtures this term (W3, D2), a strong response seems likely. A Sunday game should only further fuel Dortmund belief, as they’ve won each of their last seven Sunday-held Bundesliga games.[/p]
