On Saturday afternoon, Freiburg and RB Leipzig do battle at the Europa-Park Stadion in a game that could be vital for both team’s European aspirations in the Bundesliga.
Freiburg looking for a win to boost their top-six chancesThe team from the Black Forest recorded a 3-0 win at Monchengladbach last time out to improve their chances of landing a top-six spot this season.
However, Christian Streich’s team is still six points adrift of the Bundesliga’s European spots.
Freiburg's inconsistent recent league form has not helped their European chances. The victory against Gladbach was only their second in nine Bundesliga outings.
One thing that has been consistent of late with Freiburg in the Bundesliga has been high-scoring games. In fact, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Freiburg’s last ten league games.
Freiburg’s recent home form has been poor. They are winless in four Bundesliga games on home soil.
Leipzig held to a frustrating draw by MainzIn their last Bundesliga outing, Mainz held RB Leipzig to a goalless draw. The result may have been frustrating for Marco Rose’s team, but Die Roten Bullen extended their unbeaten league run to four games.
Leipzig had also won their previous three games in the German top flight, having scored at least two goals in all three of the victories.
The visitors remain in fifth place in the Bundesliga table, three points adrift of the Champions League berths in the German top-flight.
Leipzig has recorded back-to-back away wins in the Bundesliga at Bochum and Koln. The visitors scored nine goals combined in the two victories.
Their potency in front of goal on their travels has led to over 2.5 goals in the last five away games.
What am I backing?This could be a relatively even encounter. However, I do believe it will produce goals, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
