Prediction: 1-0
Hertha
After sharing the spoils with Mainz before the international break, Freiburg will look to stay in the Champions League berth when they take on Hertha Berlin on Matchday 26. Christian Streich’s troops aim to put icing on the cake on a very successful season, but Leipzig are still breathing down their neck. Michael Gregoritsch, who scored the winner for Austria in the EURO 2024 qualifier against Estonia, is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while all Lukas Kubler, Philipp Lienhart, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh remain in the recovery room.
The capital club, on the other hand, are eager to escape the relegation zone, but given their poor away record (1-1-10), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Marco Richter is banned for the match, while all Jean-Paul Boetius, Chidera Ejuke, and Kelian Nsona are all sidelined with injuries.
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.
