Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Handicap – Greuther Furth +1 Handicap – 2.25
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Both Teams to Score – YES – 1.91
Greuther Furth +1 Handicap
The hosts were battered here last time out, showing all of their defensive frailties, though perhaps we shouldn’t react too harshly to that result. After all, Freiburg aren’t exactly the sort of side to deliver an attacking flourish quite like RB Leipzig, while if we discount that recent blemish, Furth have a positive record at home of late. They’ve held off the likes of Koln and Stuttgart, while they beat both Hertha and Mainz. OK, two of those results aren’t overly impressive, but picking up points against sides challenging for the top half (Koln and Mainz) is not something that should be ignored.
Moreover, for all the visitors are the better of these two teams, they don’t have a perfect record away against bottom-half teams, losing to Bochum and drawing with Bielefeld. They also failed to beat Mainz on the road, a team who Furth recently got the better of at this venue. All in all, for all the visitors are the stronger of the two all-round, they don’t appear to be strong enough to warrant such an odds-on price-tag away from home, and thus a small play on the hosts getting something from this fixture offers some value.
Both Teams to Score – YES
As a secondary play, betting on both teams to score is a solid option. Furth’s attacking play has improved at home in recent months, with the hosts scoring in each of their last four at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer. What’s more, the visitors have only failed to find the net in two of their last ten on the road, the last four of which they’ve conceded in. Both teams have scored in each of Furth’s last four at home.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Greuther Furth vs Freiburg
Furth’s mini revival so to speak didn’t last all that long, with Saturday’s hosts now going four games without tasting victory, three of which they’ve lost. Last time out, they were humbled by RB Leipzig, who came to Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer and scored no less than six goals.
Make no mistake about it, as their rocky campaign has progressed, the men in green have adapted to life at this level, and improvements have been made, but there’s no getting away from the fact that overall, they remain below the level required to make a serious go of staying up. As things stand, they’re 11 points from safety, and there’s little to suggest that they’ll be bridging that gap.
As for Freiburg, well, things remain positive. The visitors come into this fixture off the back of an encouraging win against Wolfsburg, who they scored three goals against. That victory marked five games without defeat, three of which they’ve won, while it very much kept their Champions League hopes alive.
Freiburg’s recent away record isn’t immaculate, losses at both Dortmund and Koln saw to that, though seeing how Leipzig, who recently drew 1-1 with, fared here, the visitors will probably still fancy themselves to get the desired result.
Quick Rich
If you want something with a little extra juice in the price, then take a chance on ‘Furth Draw No Bet’. Yes, they suffered a bad defeat last time out, but overall, their home efforts have been reasonably solid of late, while as touched on above, the visitors probably aren’t as menacing as the prices suggest.

Highlighted Player
Branimir Hrgota
Central to anything and everything that has been positive about Furth’s play this season, Branimir Hrgota is the key player here. If the Swede, who has eight Bundesliga goals to his name this season, gets sufficient service, then he can play a big part in what could be an upset.
