Bundesliga Preview

It has been a tremendous season to this point for Freiburg, but they haven’t achieved their target of Champions League qualification just yet. They currently sit fourth in the standings, but Leipzig trails their rivals by just two points. The hosts come into this must-win showdown in excellent recent form, as they have picked up wins in each of their three previous matches. A win on Saturday could also see them move into third in the standings.

Freiburg maintained their winning run last weekend, as they edged over the finish line away from home against FC Köln. The only goal of the game was scored early in the second half by Ritsu Doan. Freiburg defended excellently in the final stages, and that defensive structure will be put to the test once again this weekend.

Leipzig will see this fixture as a must-not-lose match in the Bundesliga, as they still have a realistic chance of achieving Champions League qualification. They come into the match trailing Freiburg and Union Berlin by two points, but there are still four games of the season remaining.

Their form has been patchy throughout the season, and that has been evident over their previous five outings. Over that period, Leipzig has picked up three wins, while they have also suffered two defeats. They come into this game on Saturday after winning their previous league fixture against Hoffenheim.
