Freiburg Preview: Without a win in their last three
Freiburg have found themselves overtaken in the Bundesliga table by their opponents here after recording just two points from the last nine available to them. The hosts are also suffering through a three-game scoring drought as Julian Schuster searches for solutions.
A strong start to the campaign sees Freiburg still well-placed despite their recent poor run of form, but getting back to winning ways sooner rather than later is of paramount importance to avoid slipping further down the table.
Borussia Monchengladbach Preview: St. Pauli win makes it five unbeaten in league
Borussia Monchengladbach’s progression in the Bundesliga continues apace, having now not lost in their most recent five league matches, a run which includes three home wins and two draws, including a hugely valuable point away at title challengers RB Leipzig which saw Gladbach shut out their opponents.
Most recently, the visitors tasted victory against St. Pauli in what was a professional home performance. After scoring early on through Alassane Plea, Gladbach never looked like slipping up and sealed the points just before half-time with another goal from Tim Kleindienst.

Freiburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction
This serves as a big chance for Borussia Monchengladbach to extend their recent positive run of results in the Bundesliga with Freiburg having found things difficult of late, particularly in front of goal. It’s hard to ignore the fact that the home side have gone three games without scoring and confidence must be low among their attacking players. Back Gladbach via the double chance market to capitalise on this and secure at least a point from this encounter, if not all three.
