Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Freiburg and Hoffenheim go head to head at Schwarzwald-Stadion in what is expected to be a close Bundesliga encounter. Freiburg continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their third consecutive triumph at home ground. Christian Streich’s troops rolled over Schalke 4-0 in their last home game, and we are positive that they will find the net against Hoffenheim. Baptiste Santamaria is banned for the match, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, came from two goals behind to beat Borussia M’gladbach at home ground, with the team climbing to 11th place in the standings. Both teams have little to play for in the season finale, and seeing that they will be with guards down in Saturday’s game, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. All John, Gacinovic, Baumgartner, Rudy, Vogt, Akpoguma, Stafylidis, Geiger, Bicakcic, and Hubner are injured for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Nils Petersen):
Son to a football coach, Andreas, the Freiburg striker Nils Petersen is a physical forward best known for his clinical finishing. A former Bayern Munich striker never got a chance to prove his worth with Bundesliga giants and had to take a long road to prominence which included loan spells at Werder Bremen and Freiburg, before penning a permanent deal with Die Breisaguer in 2015.
Petersen’s impressive exploits during the 2017/18 season helped him get into Germany’s provisional FIFA World Cup 2018 squad although his father Andreas would argue it was his personal influence that helped Joachim Loew write his son’s name in the 23-man list. Namely, Andres Piteresen spotted the Germany manager on a beach in January and decided to ask him about his son’s chances of making it into Germany World Cup squad.
Piteresen was rewarded with his senior Germany cap in an Austria friendly but unfortunately for his father missed out on the final squad for the tournament in Russia.
