Schalke 04 Freiburg betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash tends to be somewhat unbalanced, considering that the home team has a considerably superior squad and makes a great campaign where it is among the first placed, while the away has only medium squad and struggles to move away from the relegation zone. In addition, Schalke 04 goes through a great phase with 5 consecutive victories, while Freiburg has not won for 4 games, having the fourth worst away campaign and is the team that suffered the most goals away from home among the 18 Bundesliga teams. In view of these factors, we believe that Schalke 04 will assert its best moment and the superior squad to conquer the 3 points without great difficulties.

The home team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 49 points won, after 14 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Mainz 05, by (0‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Wolfsburg, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. For the league, Schalke 04 won 19 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (10 out of 13 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 12 of the last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 27 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 13 home matches for this competition: they have suffered 7 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Schalke 04 has been campaigning well in the German Championship where it is at the top of the qualifying table, coming an excellent series of 5 wins in the last 5 rounds and is looking for yet another positive result to get even closer to a place in the Champions League of the next season. The team has a reasonable attack that has scored 41 goals and is the fifth best of the Bundesliga, but its great asset has been the defense that only conceded 30 goals and is the second less leaked, so much that it did not concede goals in any of its last 5 games of the competition. Playing at home, such as this Saturday's match, Schalke comes from 2 good wins against teams hard to beat in this type of situation and it is worth mentioning that it has the fourth defense less leaked in the home matches, once again reliving its defensive power in the league. For the clash with Freiburg, coach Domenico Tedesco will not be able to count on defender Stambouli due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Ralf Fährmann, Bastian Oczipka, Matija Nastasić, Naldo, Benjamin Stambouli, Daniel Caligiuri, Leon Goretzka, Nabil Bentaleb, Franco di Santo, Guido Burgstaller, Breel Embolo.
Coach: K. Geraerts.

Analysis Freiburg

The away team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 30 points won, after 6 wins, 12 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Hertha BSC, by (0‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Stuttgart, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 35 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Freiburg has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 5 of the last 27 matches for the Bundesliga, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 5 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 27 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 16 times and have only turned the score around in 3. In the last 13 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Freiburg has been campaigning poorly in the German Championship where it is at the bottom of the standings, comes from a bad phase where it has not won for four rounds, having accumulated 2 losses and 2 draws and is looking for a recovery to try to move away from the relegation zone which is only 5 points away. The team has major problems in the offensive and defensive systems, as it has scored 26 goals, being the third worst attack os the competition, and has suffered 44 goals, with the third defense more leaked and these figures help to explain the bad campaign in both sectors. 
Playing away from home, such as this Saturday's match, Freiburg has the fourth worst Bundesliga campaign and the oddest thing is that it drew 5 of the last 6 away games, in addition to being stressed that it is the team that suffered most goals with 31 goals in 13 games. For the clash with Schalke 04, coaches Streich and Bruns have no problems in the team that has been active in the last rounds and should repeat the last game's lineup.

Confirmed Lineup: Alexander Schwolow, Pascal Stenzel, Christian Günter, Manuel Gulde, Çağlar Söyüncü, Robin Koch, Nicolas Höfler, Vincent Sierro, Janik Haberer, Florian Kath, Nils Petersen.
Coach: C. Streich.
