Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Handicap – Freiburg +1 – 2.38
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Freiburg to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 3.50
Freiburg +1 Handicap
Leipzig have form on their side, and they’re very tough to get the better of at home, though there are a few blemishes on their record, while it must be said that their performance against Bochum last weekend was underwhelming. The visitors are also not the easiest side to beat and they ought to be suited by playing on the counter in this fixture. Ultimately, given that they’re the fourth-best travellers in the division, Christian Streich’s men seem to have been disrespected slightly by the early market and are thus worthy of handicap support at promising odds.
Freiburg to Score Over 1.5 Goals
The hosts are strong at home, but they’re not infallible, while they’ve also been susceptible to teams playing on the counter, as Freiburg undoubtedly will. The fact that Bielefeld came to this venue and scored twice not long ago bodes well for the visitors, who’ve scored twice away against the likes of Wolfsburg and Gladbach this term.
Preliminary review and match prediction for RB Leipzig vs Freiburg
Leipzig’s surge towards Champions League football continued last weekend, as they got the better of Bochum away from home. At times it wasn’t pretty, and their victory probably wasn’t entirely deserved, though they did what teams chasing something must do, and that’s find a way to get the job done. Saturday’s hosts have now won three on the bounce in the league, scoring an impressive ten goals in the process.
Now that Domenico Tedesco’s men have found their scoring touch again, they look like a force to be reckoned with. Not necessarily the sturdiest of teams defensively, Leipzig have a plethora of attacking talent, talent that when on song is capable of hurting anybody at this level. In their last three at home, each of which they’ve won, the hosts have scored nine goals. Interestingly, only the current top two have scored more home goals than Leipzig in the Bundesliga this season.
As things stand, Freiburg are in fifth position, level on points with Saturday’s hosts, so they’re no back number. What they may lack in verve and sheer attacking force, they make up for in control and nous. Not many teams give the visitors the run around, that’s for sure. Alongside league leaders Bayern, Freiburg are the proud owners of the best defensive record in the division.
Away from home, Freiburg know how to dig in and get results, which is why only three teams have claimed more travelling points than Christian Streich’s men this term. No team in the Bundesliga has conceded fewer travelling goals than Freiburg.
Safe Bet
If a safe option is what you crave, then try ‘Both Teams to Score’. Leipzig’s attacking credentials rarely need mentioning, and they’ve scored in all but one of their home games this season, though Freiburg can definitely tussle with the big boys, scoring in all but one of their away games against top-half teams this season.

Highlighted Player
Christian Gunter
