FREIBURG PREVIEW: THREE WINS FROM FOUR PRIOR TO INTERNATIONAL STOPPAGE
Freiburg went into the international weekend on a high following a hard-fought 0-1 victory away at Werder Bremen. That triumph represented a third win across their last four Bundesliga fixtures with Ritsu Doan the goalscorer.
Two of Freiburg’s last three games have seen them shut out their opponents, both away from home which underlines the recently found defensive stability of the side and that bodes well moving forward.
AUGSBURG PREVIEW: INCONSISTENCY MAKES VISITORS HARD TO PREDICT
Winning two and losing three of their last five games sums up Augsburg at present, extremely inconsistent. They sit just three points above the bottom three so need to be careful of those clubs below them with plenty of them bunched together right now.
Augsburg are one of nine teams across the German top-flight yet to have hit the ten-goal-mark, whilst only team sides have conceded more goals than the 15 shipped by Augsburg across the campaign thus far.

FREIBURG VS AUGSBURG PREDICTION
With home advantage in their favour, Freiburg are expected to dominate most of the play, although they will need to be extremely wary of the opposition’s threat on the counter-attack. Memories of their St. Pauli defeat should ensure that Freiburg don’t switch off at any point. The hosts boast a stronger side on paper and provided they maintain a high level of performance, they should get the better of Augsburg.
