Bookmaker ratings: Prediction two: Total goals over 2.5 – 1.54
Freiburg are currently enjoying an impressive run, as they haven’t lost a match since the end of the Bundesliga 2021/22 season (W6, D1).
Meanwhile, in the previous three games in Europa-Park Stadion against Borussia, the hosts claimed two wins and one draw.
As both teams prefer a more attacking style of play, we think there will be many goal-scoring opportunities and the match could end with more than 2.5 total goals.
In addition, the hosts have seen over 2.5 goals in their previous 4 home matches against Borussia Dortmund in all competitions.
Freiburg got off to a perfect start in the German top division, thrashing Augsburg (4:0) on the road. The team newcomers Michael Gregoritsch, Ritsu Doan and Matthias Ginter were outstanding, scoring each in their debut game.
With this victory, Christian Streich’s side advanced into the top 20 of the all-time Bundesliga table.
Meanwhile, Freiburg’s home record in Bundesliga is good, with five wins, three draws and two defeats in 10 matches, with a positive goal balance of 21 goals scored and 17 goals conceded.

On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund kicked off their new Bundesliga campaign with a slender win against Bayer Leverkusen (1:0).
Die Borussen captain Marco Reus’s first-half goal was enough to grab 3 points. However, Borussia Dortmund’s goalkeeper Gregor Kobel was the man of the match, with several outstanding saves.
With their win, Edin Terzic’s team extended their undefeated record in Bundesliga to three matches.
Kimberly Ezekwem is suspended, while Kevin Schade and Lucas Holer will miss due to injuries.

On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund newcomers Karim Adeyemi and Nico Schlotterbeck both gave fans a reason to worry after sustaining knocks during the Bayer match, but both should be available for this game.
Sebastien Haller is set to miss ‘several months’ of the season due to chemotherapy for testicular tumour. Meanwhile, Borussia on Sunday confirmed the signing of veteran FC Koln forward Anthony Modeste on a one-year deal as a replacement for Haller.
Freiburg: Flekken; Gunter, Ginter, Lienhart, Sildillia, Hofler, Eggestein, Grifo, Sallai, Doan, Gregoritsch
