One of the standout matches in Germany this weekend will see third-place Stuttgart take on seventh-place Freiburg. The visitors should be confident coming into this fixture after claiming a dominant win over RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga last weekend.
Bundesliga Preview
It’s likely that both Freiburg and Stuttgart will make pushes for the European spots in the second half of the season. Stuttgart will need to hold their position between now and May to achieve an unlikely feat, as they are currently sitting third in the standings. They hold a four-point advantage over RB Leipzig at this stage after claiming a dominant success over their rivals last weekend.
Freiburg will also be a key contender for a Europa League spot this term if they are able to get their form back on track. They come into this round of matches after losing two of their last three, meaning that they are three points off sixth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt at this stage.
It has been a memorable season to this point for Stuttgart, as they are playing their best league season since 2003-04. They have just over double the number of points that they had picked up at the same stage last term. Their strength has been in their attacking play, scoring 43 goals in 19 matches. That is their best return in front of goal in nearly 40 years.Freiburg’s home form could be a key factor to consider this weekend, as they are unbeaten in their last seven in the Bundesliga, winning four over that period. In fact, their only home loss this season was suffered on matchday four against Dortmund. Since then, they have picked up 18 from a possible 28 points.
Freiburg vs Stuttgart Head to Head
Stuttgart were commanding 5-0 winners in the reverse fixture this season. That win ended a five-game unbeaten streak in this fixture for Freiburg, which consisting of three straight victories. This is the second straight season in which the sides will meet on matchday 20, with Freiburg landing a 2-1 win last term.
Freiburg vs Stuttgart Prediction
Cases can be made for both of these sides in the Bundesliga this weekend, with Stuttgart bouncing back to their very best form last weekend. However, we will be siding with the home side to claim victory after showing impressive form at Europa-Park Stadion throughout the campaign.
