The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Borussia Dortmund
In the 10th round, Nuri Sahin's side lost to Mainz (1-3). In their last five league matches, Dortmund has collected only 6 points (2 wins, 3 losses). Due to setbacks in previous games, Borussia has dropped out of the European competition zone and is currently in 7th place in the table. However, the club is only one point away from the Champions League zone.
The upcoming game will not feature key midfielder Emre Can, who received a red card in the previous match.
- The team has scored at least two goals in their last 7 home Bundesliga matches.
- Borussia has defeated the upcoming opponent in their last 5 Bundesliga encounters.
- The Dortmund club has won their last 7 home matches in this tournament.
Freiburg
In the previous round, the team drew with Union Berlin (0-0). Notably, for the first time since autumn 2022, the club has failed to score in two consecutive Bundesliga matches. In the last three games, Julian Schuster's team has collected only 2 points (2 draws, 1 loss). Nevertheless, Freiburg is in 5th place in the standings, trailing Bayer, who occupies the last Champions League spot, only on goal difference.
- The club has scored in 8 of their last 11 away Bundesliga matches.
- At least one team failed to score in 7 of Freiburg's last 9 away Bundesliga games.
- The club has not scored more than one goal in 5 of their last 6 matches in this tournament.
Borussia Dortmund vs. Freiburg: Match Prediction
In this Bundesliga season, the Dortmund club continues to play open football. There have been goals from both sides in all of Borussia's last eight league matches. At home, Nuri Sahin's side is particularly prolific. In the current league, Dortmund has scored 18 goals, with 14 of them coming at Signal Iduna Park. However, their defense is not as solid, having conceded six goals in five home games this Bundesliga season.
Freiburg, on the other hand, has scored in 8 of their last 11 away league matches. In this Bundesliga season, the club has only failed to score against Bayern Munich and Union Berlin, two of the league's best defensive teams. It's worth noting that in both of these matches, Julian Schuster's team missed penalties.
The head-to-head statistics also suggest a goal exchange. Both teams have scored in 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga meetings. I suggest considering this option for the upcoming match. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
