After the international break, the German Bundesliga is back with an interesting clash involving two teams from the upper half of the table. Borussia Dortmund, who alternates between solid home form and disastrous travels, will welcome a Freiburg outfit that started off strong but stunted progress in the last several rounds.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Dortmund’s story this season is one of two sides. The team has displayed an incredible home form, winning every single game at Signal Iduna Park since the start of the season, but at the same time, it has shown significant issues on the road. This state of the team has been a constant since the start of the season. Luckily for Nuri Sahin and his boys, their return to club football will be against Freiburg at home. Five of Dortmund’s last six games at the Signal Iduna Park have produced over 2.5 goals with Borussia scoring at least 2 goals in all of their home Bundesliga games since the start of the season. And the most important part is that Dortmund has won all home fixtures since the start of the season.
SC Freiburg Team News
Freiburg’s path is a curious one. The team started strong and was in the Bundesliga top 4 for a good amount of time. Yet, the form they displayed seems to have dissipated as the Breisgau Brazilians haven’t won any of their last 3 league matches. Moreover, their latest 2 Bundesliga games ended in drab 0-0 draws, with the game preceding them being an away loss to RB Leipzig. If we compile this together we can see that Freiburg has scored just once in its last 3 league fixtures even if their latest 2 Bundesliga games saw them keep a clean sheet. Still, Julian Schuster’s team boast one of the league’s best defences with just 11 goals conceded which in itself is a solid platform for something more.
Head-to-Head-Games
Borussia Dortmund have completely dominated the last 5 H2H fixtures with Freiburg as Nuri Sahin’s team has won all of them. What is curious about this record is that Dortmund have scored at least 3 goals in all of the last 5 meetings with Freiburg. Overall, games between these two tend to be goal-rich as all of the last 8 meetings between them have produced over 2.5 goals with 6 of those even going as high as over 3.5 goals.

Borussia Dortmund – SC Freiburg Betting Prediction
For this game, my pick is Borussia Dortmund to win and the game to feature over 2.5 goals. Freiburg boasts a good defensive record, but Borussia has been impeccable at home. Meetings between these two sides also have a clear tendency to produce a high amount of goals and Dortmund’s home fixtures also share this trait. Thus, picking the home side to win plus goals seems like a good choice here as it is backed up by solid statistics.
