RB Leipzig Preview – Can Leipzig get going again?
Despite being unbeaten in their last 6 matches and losing just once in their previous 16 matches overall in the Bundesliga, Leipzig will nevertheless be keen to return to winning ways when the German top flight season returns this Saturday following back-to-back draws.
Stalemates against Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 at home and a disappointing 0-0 draw away from home at Wolfsburg meant that Leipzig lost ground on the league leaders, Bayern Munich, although the hosts are still just 5 points adrift of the top club ahead of this weekend’s action.
Leipzig have actually been involved in 4 draws within their last 6 matches in the Bundesliga, and given the very short odds in the straight win market on the hosts, the goals option appeals here – especially the over 2.5 goals market as 9 of Leipzig’s 12 home matches to date have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Freiburg Preview – Can Freiburg stay in the race for top six?
Although Freiburg currently reside in 8th place in the German Bundesliga, the visitors are still within striking distance of a possible top six finish as they trail 6th placed occupants, Schalke, by just a single point margin prior to this weekend’s return.
Freiburg will also be itching to get back to their campaign following a resounding 3-1 home win against Union Berlin last time out which ended a run of three league matches without a win in the Bundesliga, which included a 1-1 draw away at Augsburg and back-to-back defeats to Fortuna Dusseldorf and Borussia Dortmund.
Before we get too carried away though, Freiburg have managed just 1 win out of their last 10 matches on their travels which came in the form of a 2-1 victory at Mainz, but the straight win here certainly looks out of the question.
Instead, 8 of Freiburg’s 13 away matches have seen over 2.5 goals along with keeping just 1 clean sheet on the road, so the prospect of goals looks strong here.
