Freiburg vs Bochum Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 14th September 2024

Round 3 of the new Bundesliga campaign sees Bochum visit Freiburg this coming Saturday. The visitors hope to get a result at Europa-Park Stadion to boost their chances of avoiding another relegation battle.

The two teams enter the match at Europa-Park Stadion with three points separating them in the Bundesliga standings.

Freiburg have seen both sides of the coin already this season in the Bundesliga, and will out to double up on their share of wins in the coming match.

The last time Freiburg played Bochum, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win on Saturday.

Freiburg go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of 1.2 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding 13. That amounts to an average of 1.3 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Bochum scored 12 goals, conceded 23 and managed zero clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Freiburg had a good reading on Bochum in their last two meetings, which they won by 2-1 and 2-1, respectively.

Freiburg vs Bochum Prediction

Freiburg Form

Freiburg hope to get back to winning ways after first beating Osnabrueck by 0-4, before winning 3-1 against VfB Stuttgart. The streak ended in a recent 2-0 defeat against Bayern Munich. Freiburg only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Europa-Park Stadion in the Bundesliga. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored nine and conceded 12 goals.

Finishing somewhere in mid-table will probably be satisfactory for Bochum, who aim to keep the relegation line at a distance in the Bundesliga.

Bochum Form

Bochum endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-0 by Jahn Regensburg, before RB Leipzig ran out 1-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Borussia Moenchengladbach, who came out 0-2 winners. Bochum claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. They also drew zero and were defeated five times, as they were outscored by 13 goals to six.

Finishing somewhere in mid-table will probably be satisfactory for Bochum, who aim to keep the relegation line at a distance in the Bundesliga.

Freiburg look well suited to build on their current momentum against visitors Bochum. We expect them to deliver the goods in their upcoming clash at Europa-Park Stadion.
