Augsburg vs Freiburg Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 18th January 2026

Augsburg welcome Freiburg on Sunday in the Bundesliga, with the host motivated by the possibility of closing the gap in the table on the visitors. On the other hand, the latter could distance themselves even further with a win in this exciting round 18 match.

Augsburg are number 15 in the table on 15 points after 17 matches. Freiburg rank as number 8 with 23 points after 17 matches played.

With 3 defeats from their last 6 games across all tournaments, the mood around the Augsburg camp could probably be a lot better. They need to up their game or prepare for more disappointment, when facing Freiburg on home soil.

Augsburg have a hard time getting on the scoreboard these days, as they managed a poorly six goals in their previous ten matches. That is an average of 0.6 goals per game, in which they conceded 19 goals, or 1.9 goals per game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.

When it comes to goal-scoring Freiburg are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 16 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.6 goals per game. They conceded 18 goals for an average of 1.8 a game, achieving a clean sheet in two of these matches.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 1-3 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Sunday.

Augsburg vs Freiburg Prediction

Augsburg Form

Augsburg are without a win from their previous three outings, as Werder Bremen managed a draw, before they lost 4-0 against Borussia Moenchengladbach. Their latest match ended in a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin. Augsburg managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. In the remaining four, they drew two and lost two, as they scored four and conceded eight goals.

Augsburg had their sights set on the Bundesliga title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Freiburg Form

Despite losing their latest outing, results have generally been decent in the last three matches for Freiburg. They first took out Wolfsburg by 3-4 before downing Hamburger SV by 2-1. The winning streak came to an end against RB Leipzig, who ran out 2-0 winners. Freiburg claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by 15 goals to seven.

Freiburg have already squandered enough points to put themselves under pressure, if they are to challenge for the title seriously in the Bundesliga this season.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Augsburg renew Freiburg their acquaintance.

Freiburg recorded 12 points following four wins from their last six games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored 13 goals, but also conceded seven. Augsburg are looking at a record of four wins, three draws and ten defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Freiburg have a record of six wins, five draws and six defeats in the Bundesliga.
