Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Freiburg
In Matchday 11, the team suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat to Borussia Dortmund. This result extended Julian Schuster's side's winless run in the Bundesliga to four matches (2 draws, 2 losses). Such a point loss has impacted Freiburg's position in the standings – the club, which was third after Matchday 7, has now dropped to seventh place. They are three points adrift of the Champions League zone.
In the upcoming game, the team will be without key midfielder Patrick Osterhage and forward Chikwubuike Adamu, both of whom were sent off in Freiburg's last match.
- The team has scored no more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 matches in this tournament.
- Both teams have scored in 12 of Freiburg's last 14 home Bundesliga matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 11 of the club's last 14 home league games.
Borussia Monchengladbach
In the last round, Gerardo Seoane's side secured a 2-0 home win against St. Pauli. This result extended the team's unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to five matches (3 wins, 2 draws). Thanks to these results, the club has climbed to sixth place in the standings. Their closest rival, Freiburg, is just below them, trailing only on goal difference.
- The team has not won in 7 of their last 8 away Bundesliga matches (3 draws, 4 losses).
- Both teams scored in 20 of Borussia's last 26 away matches in this tournament.
- The club conceded first in 6 of their last 9 away games in the German championship.
Freiburg vs. Borussia Monchengladbach: Match Prediction
Freiburg is not the most prolific team in the Bundesliga. Their matches in this season's championship average 2.5 goals per game. The team's home games also rarely provide fans with thrilling football – three goals or fewer have been scored in 6 of Freiburg's last 8 home matches in this tournament.
Borussia Monchengladbach is one of the most prolific teams at home in this Bundesliga campaign, but Gerardo Seoane's side tends to play more cautiously away. Three goals or fewer have been scored in the club's last five away league matches.
It is also worth noting the importance of the upcoming match for both teams – the opponents are in sixth and seventh places in the table, with equal points. In such encounters, clubs typically prioritize not conceding and play safely to avoid letting their rival gain an advantage in the standings. Considering all these factors, I do not expect a high-scoring affair in the upcoming match. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
