RB Leipzig vs Freiburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-11-11 18:30.
RB Leipzig head coach Marco Rose will hope his side have turned a corner after they got back to winning ways on Tuesday. The manager was full of praise for “a good performance over long stretches” as his side beat Red Star Belgrade 2-1 in the UEFA Champions League (UCL), stating the result gave his men a “boost” after successive defeats to Wolfsburg and Mainz.
The win in Serbia also secured progression to the UCL knock-out stages for the fourth time, so attention can now return to the Bundesliga, where Leipzig occupy an underwhelming position outside of the top four. They should be confident of chalking up a seventh league win of the season against Freiburg though, given they now have gone nine top-flight fixtures without defeat at the Red Bull Arena (W7, D2).
Looking to stop them in their tracks are Freiburg, but they don’t have a great record in this H2H contest with no win in the last nine meetings between the two (D3, L6). However, they did pick up a confidence-boosting victory in midweek, hammering TSC 5-0 in the UEFA Europa League to guarantee they will be playing some form of European football post-Christmas.
That victory also alleviated pressure on manager Christian Streich, as his side ended a run of three games without a victory (D1, L2) across all competitions. The manager was delighted with the performance his side turned in, and he will now be desperate for them to pick up a similar result in the Bundesliga, where they have only won two of their last eight fixtures (D2, L4), conceding 18 goals in the process.
Key battle: RB Leipzig forward Xavi Simons extended his record to 19 wins from the 22 games he’s scored in (D3) by netting against Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday. Attempting to stop him will be Matthias Ginter, although he has a shocking personal H2H record of just two wins in 12 attempts (D2, L8), while keeping just two clean sheets in the process.
Hot stat: RB Leipzig are one of only two teams in the Bundesliga yet to concede in the opening 15 minutes of a league match.
