Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th September 2023

Borussia Dortmund take a trip to Europa-Park Stadion this coming Saturday to play against a top six finishing side from last season in Freiburg in round four of the new Bundesliga campaign.

With the gap between Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund being only one point, the former currently occupy number eight in the table. The latter trail them at number nine.

Freiburg can actually leapfrog Borussia Dortmund in the table with a win on Saturday. However, judging by the prices we get from the bookmakers, this seems rather unlikely to happen.

Freiburg scored 15 goals, conceded 14 and fought their way to four clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Borussia Dortmund average of 2.8 goals per game, scoring 28 goals in their past ten matches. They conceded 11 goals in total, or an average of 1.1 per game, achieving four clean sheets as well.

Winning 5-1 and 3-1 in the last two most matches against Freiburg, will have Borussia Dortmund looking forward to their upcoming away trip.

Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction

Freiburg Form

In their last three matches, Freiburg beat Hoffenheim by 1-2 and Werder Bremen by 1-0, before losing against VfB Stuttgart by 5-0. In their last six Bundesliga home matches, Freiburg have three wins, while they've drawn one and lost two. They scored eight and conceded three goals.

Finishing inside the top half is the bare minimum Freiburg expect for this season, but the ideal target is a spot in an international competition.

Borussia Dortmund Form

Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in their previous three matches, winning 1-0 against FC Koln, before sharing the points in a 1-1 draw with Bochum. Another draw followed, this time 2-2 against FC Heidenheim. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, Borussia Dortmund failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn four and lost one, scoring 12 while also conceding 11 times.

A runners-up spot is the absolute minimum Borussia Dortmund should achieve for a season in which a tilt at league glory is their top priority.

The crowd usually get a very entertaining encounter, when Freiburg face Borussia Dortmund, and we see no reason for this to end this coming Saturday. The value bet lies with goals.
