Freiburg vs Bochum Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 26th August 2022

Freiburg are the favourites by a long shot on Sunday for a Bundesliga round four match against Bochum at Europa-Park Stadion this coming Friday. Freiburg beat Bochum by 3-0 in their most recent match, while Bochum claimed a 2-1 win in the match prior to that.

Looking at the current standings in the Bundesliga, the two teams are separated by six points. Bochum have not gained a single point yet from the first three rounds of the current Bundesliga season. Freiburg obtained six points from their opening three games, earning them a place as number five in the table.

Bochum got hammered in their latest outing, and could still be rattled this coming Friday. If so, Freiburg are in with a good chance of lashing out yet another defeat for the visitors.

Freiburg are confident they will be scoring goals in their next assignment in the Bundesliga, as they show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches. The hosts scored 2.1 goals on average per match, or 21 goals in total, while allowing 20 goals against, for an average of two per outing. They managed three clean sheets along the way.

Bochum are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 13 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.3 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 25 goals, and while Bochum claimed one clean sheet, they conceded an average of 2.5 goals per match.

Freiburg vs Bochum Prediction

Freiburg beat Augsburg by 0-4, lost 1-3 against B. Dortmund, before defeating VfB Stuttgart 0-1. Freiburg only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Bundesliga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored 12 and conceded 16 goals.

Freiburg have their target set on sneaking inside the top six of the Bundesliga this season, and they have the qualities to at least a finish inside the top third.

Bochum endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-2 by Mainz 05, before Hoffenheim ran out 3-2 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Bayern München, who came out 0-7 winners. Bochum, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn zero and lost four in their last six away in the Bundesliga.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, when it comes to goals. We see no reason for this trend to end here, and we expect an entertaining match once again between Freiburg and Bochum.
