Freiburg RB Leipzig betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This confrontation marks the meeting between two teams that have been campaigning very distinct so far within the German Championship. While RB Leipzig remain in the vice-lead, Freiburg tries to distance themselves from the relegation zone, which is only five points away. The home team has a hard time keeping ball possession as well as finishing, while its defense fails to cover the sides and interception of long-distance kicks. RB Leipzig, however, often attacks from the flanks and puts a lot of effort into kicking the ball out of the area, while its defense excels in tackles and aerial game. Thus, RB Leipzig seems to be able to win this duel, but as it plays away from home, the draw is also a good betting option.

Preview
Freiburg and RB Leipzig meet at Schwarzwald‑Stadion, in a match for the 19th round of the Bundesliga. RB Leipzig got a home win by (4‑1), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 27‑08‑2017. The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 5 matches. Although this is a match between 13th and 2nd of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 10th best in home matches and the 8th best in away matches.

Analysis Freiburg

After 4 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses, the home team is in the 13th position, havinf won 20 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Eintracht Frankfurt by (1‑1), after in the previous match they have tied (3‑3) an away match against Augsburg. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 6 points in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 26 conceded, against 14 points won at their stadium, with 8 goals scored and 6 conceded. In the last 9 home league matches Freiburg has a record of 3 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 14 points out of 27 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (7 out of 9 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 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 4 of the last 18 matches for the Bundesliga, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Freiburg plays again at home in the Bundesliga after two consecutive away appearances, with the chance to add the second consecutive home win and reach the seventh straight game without losing in the competition. In the last round, the team did not have a great offensive performance, having finished only twice, in addition to having missed many passes, but still managed to add a draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. Although it conceded only one goal in that match, the team remains with the second-most leaked defense in the competition and has not conceded a goal in just five occasions. Another weak point of the team has been ball possession, which has the second worst league average. The coach has been testing various tactical formations throughout the competition, and should have no problem climbing the initial eleven in this duel.

Confirmed Lineup: Alexander Schwolow, Pascal Stenzel, Christian Günter, Çağlar Söyüncü, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Manuel Gulde, Robin Koch, Amir Abrashi, Janik Haberer, Nils Petersen, Lucas Höler.
Coach: C. Streich.

Analysis Leipzig

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 31 points won, after 9 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Hertha BSC, by (2‑3). In the last match, they won in a home match against Schalke 04, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 11 points in away matches and 20 at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 11 conceded at home, against 10 goals scored and 15 conceded in away matches. In the last 9 away league matches RB Leipzig has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 27 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times but have turned the score around in 3. In the last 14 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

RB Leipzig enters the field a little less pressure after it has found the way back to winning in the German Championship, stopping a fast that lasted four rounds. On the occasion, the team had more volume of game and managed to finish more than the opponent, thus surpassing Schalke 04 at home. The score of this match confirms what the team has been presenting throughout the competition, so much so that today it has the fourth best attack, with an average of 1.66 goals per game. Another strong point of the team has been ball possession, which has the third highest average of the championship. Playing away from home, RB Leipzig won just over 40% of the points, and in that condition could not score goals in four games. The 4-2-2-2 or the 4-3-3 should be the scheme adopted for this duel by coach Hasenhüttl, who will probably keep Demme as a reference in midfield.

Confirmed Lineup: Péter Gulácsi, Bernardo, Willi Orbán, Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer, Kevin Kampl, Marcel Sabitzer, Diego Demme, Bruma, Jean-Kévin Augustin, Timo Werner.
