Freiburg will be looking to get back on track after suffering a defeat before the international break. They will come up against Bochum this weekend in the Bundesliga, as the visitors continue their search for a first league win of the campaign.
Bundesliga Preview
It has been a reliable enough start to the season for Freiburg, and they could emerge as one of the shock contenders for a European spot this term. They come into this fixture sitting in ninth place in the standings, and a victory this weekend could lift them up to seventh. However, a response will be needed by the hosts after they have lost three of their previous five.
Their most recent loss was suffered against Bayern Munich, which was their third defeat of the campaign. Last season, it took until the 14th round of matches for them to suffer their third defeat of the campaign. Meanwhile, they have already allowed 13 goals this term, which is their second-most at this stage of the campaign since returning to the top flight in 2016.
It has been a challenging start to the season for Bochum, as they continue to struggle at both ends of the field. The visitors this weekend currently sit in the relegation playoff spot, as they have gone seven without a win this term. However, they have picked up draws in four of their matches this term. But, they have found it challenging to find the back of the net after netting just five times.
It is the second time in their history that they have gone across their opening seven matches without picking up a victory. But, on the previous occasion, they landed a victory in their ninth match of the season.
Freiburg vs Bochum Head to Head
Bochum have suffered defeats in each of the last four meetings between the sides, which includes three defeats in the Bundesliga. The visitors are on a longer losing sequence against Werder Bremen. Freiburg recorded 29 shots in their home game against Bochum last term, which was their most in a single match since the 2004-05 season.
Freiburg vs Bochum Prediction
We expect Bochum’s wait for a first league win of the season to continue their weekend. Freiburg look good value to land maximum points, as they have gone 28 without a defeat against sides starting the day in the bottom half of the Bundesliga standings.
