Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Leipzig will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Mainz when they take on Freiburg in the Bundesliga round 8. The Red Bulls have found their best form in the national championship of late, winning each of their last three league games, but the visitors should not be written off just yet. History, though, is on Leipzig’s side as they have defeated Freiburg in three of the previous four meetings between the two sides at Red Bull Arena.
The likes of David Raum, Assan Ouedraogo, Nicolas Seiwald, and Xaver Schlager miss out with injuries for the home team. Julian Schuster’s troops, on the other hand, are surprisingly sitting in 3rd place in the standings. Schuster obviously continues where Christian Streich left, but given Freiburg’s negative record at Red Bull Arena, home win should be considered. The visitors will be without Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Merlin Rohl, Manuel Gulde, and Kenneth Schmidt in Saturday’s encounter.
