Match Time & Date:

15:30
Prediction: 1-1
Leipzig
Europa-Park Stadion will host Saturday’s Bundesliga game between Freiburg and Leipzig. Christian Streich’s troops have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Augsburg and Hertha Berlin in the previous two league fixtures. Freiburg aim to remain undefeated in the 2021/2022 Bundesliga campaign, but they will have a big fish to fry in Saturday’s clash against the Red Bulls. Leipzig looked sharp in front of goal in back-to-back wins over Hertha (6-0) and Bochum (3-0), but beating Freiburg on the road is easier said than done.
A close encounter is on the cards at Europa-Park Stadion, and we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. All Brian Brobbey, Dani Olmo, Marcel Halstenberg, and Marcelo Saracchi are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team, while Philipp Lienhart, Kimberly Ezekwem, and Jonathan Schmid miss out for the hosts.
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.
Highlighted Team (Leipzig):
Leipzig are a professional football club founded in 2009. Die Bullen (The Bulls) were unbeaten in the 2012/2013 Regionalliga Nordost and, as a result, they secured promotion to the 3. Liga. After finishing the 2013/2014 as 3rd. Liga campaign in second place in the standings, Leipzig were promoted to the 2. Bundesliga and they competed in the German second tier for two seasons.
Despite suffering a loss to Karlsruher on the last day of the 2015/2016 round in the 2. Bundesliga campaign, die Bullen secured promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time ever. Leipzig play their home games at Red Bull Arena (42,959) and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1954.
Die Bullen wear white shirts and red shorts while their away kit is blue and yellow. Ralph Hasenhuttl was appointed as the team’s manager at the end of the 2015/2016 season and you should know that the likes of Ralf Rangnick, Achim Beierlorzer, Alexander Zorniger, Peter Pacult, Tomas Oral and Tino Vogel were in charge of the team in the past as well.
