Just as there is still time for Freiburg to qualify for the UCL, there is still a chance for Hoffenheim to get relegated. As such, the game between them could be pivotal for how the rest of the season unfolds for both teams. One thing is certain – the three points will be sought after by all parties involved.
SC Freiburg Team News
Freiburg ended a 5-game winless streak last time out when they managed to come from behind against Borussia Mönchengladbach and secure a priceless 1-2 victory. That win has kept the team’s UCL dreams alive, as the gap between them and 4th-placed RB Leipzig is just 3 points. Julian Schuster will be hoping that the 3 points secured last time out will be the catalyst for his team to achieve the dream of Champions League football, but the opponent they will be facing has some serious issues of their own. What could be said is that Freiburg’s games have produced a fair amount of goals, as all of their last 4 Bundesliga fixtures saw over 2.5 goals scored. Three of the team’s last 5 league games as hosts also produced over 2.5 goals.
Hoffenheim Team News
Hoffenheim were also victorious in their most recent league game against Mainz, and in the process also did Freiburg a favour. In reality, Christian Ilzer and his team haven’t paid much attention to that, but to other things, namely that the win against Mainz further increased the gap with the relegation zone to 8 points. While continued survival in the Bundesliga is very close, it is not a guarantee yet, hence why Hoffenheim will strive to secure points at every possible avenue until the end of the season. As guests, however, the team has lost 3 of its last 5 league trips, but has also managed to win 2 in the same period. Three of those last 5 away matches produced over 2.5 goals.
Head-to-Head-Games
Freiburg have dominated the H2H with Hoffenheim in recent seasons, as they have 6 wins from the last 10 matches between them. Hoffenheim have managed to secure just 1 victory. A total of 7 of those 10 matches also produced a high amount of goals, over 2.5 to be precise.

SC Freiburg – Hoffenheim Betting Prediction
I am going with over 2.5 goals for this game. Recent results for both teams indicate that they are involved in high-scoring matches regularly. Moreover, both will be looking for the 3 points here as they can be pivotal for each side’s aspirations for the remainder of this season.
Going with goals here also seems to be supported by the fact that H2H encounters between Freiburg and Hoffenheim have produced games with at least 3 goals fairly often. I believe that, given the current circumstances, we will see another game between them with at least 3 goals scored.
