If you were looking for the Bundesliga Game of the Week to place a wager, your search is finally over.
Borussia Dortmund is in fourth place with 34 points. Freiburg is in fifth place with 34 points. And the winner of this match could catch Bayern Munich at the top of the standings. That’s if the reigning champs lose against Wolfsburg.
As expected, the Black and Yellows dominate the soccer lines, but keep in mind that the Black and Whites are led by one of the league’s top scorers.
Let’s check the latest Bundesliga news, stats, injury reports, and Bundesliga lines for Borussia Dortmund vs Freiburg. We’ve got plenty of Bundesliga picks for you to consider.
Borussia Dortmund: Building a Streak
Last Sunday, Borussia Dortmund defeated Leverkusen 2-0 on the road, with Karim Adeyemi and Edmond Tapsoba (own goal) as the scorers. The Black and Yellows only took two shots on target, while the home side took six. That means the defense deserves a lot of credit for that victory.
Since the resumption of the tournament, Dortmund has been unbeaten. Prior to beating Leverkusen, it defeated Augsburg 4-3 and Mainz 05 2-1. Giovanni Reyna scored in both matches but didn’t play against Leverkusen. Meaning Dortmund has the talent to spare. Besides Reyna, Marco Reus, Raphael Guerreiro, Mats Hummels, Youssoufa Moukoko and Anthony Modeste also started on the bench. That’s basically another team.
As if that wasn’t enough for the Black and Yellows to be the online gambling favorites at -160, they’re 6-1-1 when playing at home. That’s one of the best home records in the Bundesliga. They scored at least three goals in each of their last three games at Signal Iduna Park and finished with a clean sheet twice.
Losing Erling Haaland to Manchester City was a low blow, but now they’ve four players with at least four goals each, meaning they don’t depend on a single player anymore, which is a big deal in such a competitive league.
Freiburg: Determined to Turn Things Around
Last Saturday, Freiburg defeated Augsburg 3-1, with Michael Gregoritsch, Lucas Holer and Philipp Lienhart as the scorers. Freiburg lost possession with 46% but finished with 10 shots on target, six more than Augsburg.
That match was at home, where the Black and Whites own a 6-2-1 record. Things have been very different when playing on the road, where they’re 4-2-3. That’s something they need to fix, at least if they want to remain in the title race.
They lost their last two road matches, 3-1 to RB Leipzig and 6-0 to Wolfsburg. No, that’s not a typo; they were crushed! That’s basically why they’re offering a +400 price to win straight up despite having allowed the same number of goals as Dortmund, 25 in 18 games.
Individually, top scorer Vincenzo Grifo is back after missing several games due to injury. Grifo, who has scored nine goals, played some minutes against Augsburg, but now he should be at 100%. You should also keep an eye on Gregoritsch, who has scored seven goals.
