After a series of three consecutive 1-0 victories, Julian Schuster's team erupted in the match against Werder.

Match Prediction: Augsburg vs. Freiburg
Both teams achieved significant victories in the last round, but such high-scoring games are not typical for their current form. In attack, Augsburg and Freiburg appear quite modest, and they rarely make defensive errors.
Jess Thorup's side has scored only three goals in their last six home Bundesliga matches, failing to score in four of those games. However, they managed to keep a clean sheet in three of these encounters. Freiburg ranks among the lowest-scoring clubs in away matches, having failed to score more than one goal in 10 consecutive away games. Meanwhile, the team has not conceded in four league matches.
In terms of the result, my preference is for the hosts. Augsburg currently looks no worse than Freiburg, and they have not lost in 10 of the last 12 home encounters against Freiburg in the Bundesliga (4 wins, 6 draws).
My prediction: Augsburg will not lose and Total under 3.5 goals
