Freiburg vs Hoffenheim predictions for Saturday’s Bundesliga fixture at Europa-Park Stadion. Can the hosts claim another three points after their extraordinary win last time out? Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
After a couple of frustrating games where the attack wasn’t quite clicking and the goals weren’t really coming, Freiburg returned to winning ways in fine style last time out, thrashing Monchengladbach away from home, scoring six goals, all of which were rifled home before half-time. After such an emphatic display on their travels, Christian Streich will be hoping that his troops can bottle such attacking potency and release it at Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday afternoon.
In general, the hosts have been sturdy at home this season, losing just one out of six, winning three of the other five, including wins against the side that currently sits in second place.
When they lost to Bochum a few weeks back, the Hoffenheim boys could easily have felt sorry for themselves and started on something of a downward spiral, but they channelled their frustrations into delivering some pleasing performances and have since won three on the bounce.
What has impressed most in recent weeks has been the rate at which Sebastian Hoeneß’s men have been rattling in the goals, notching 11 in three, scoring at least twice against RB Leipzig, Furth and Frankfurt. Right now, the Hoffenheim offensive line is not to be taken lightly.
The visitors must be taken seriously after their recent efforts, but the hosts still appeal most, especially at the prices. Streich’s men have performed quite a bit better at home than the visitors have on the road. Hoffenheim have lost three of their last four on the road, and a win against rock-bottom Furth isn’t enough to suggest that they can suddenly start beating one of the best home teams in the division. If you’re looking for the best option here, take the home win.
