SC Freiburg v Koln
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Europa Park Stadion - Freiburg

SC Freiburg

SC Freiburg currently sit eighth in the Bundesliga, five points off the European places. Their recent league form has been mixed, with one win, three draws and two defeats in the last six rounds, suggesting there’s still another gear to find.

Last weekend’s 2-2 draw away at Augsburg summed that up - competitive, but not quite ruthless enough. SC Freiburg did respond well in midweek, though, edging Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-0 in the Europa League to secure their place in the knockout phase.

At home, SC Freiburg have been far more reliable. They are unbeaten in their last six Bundesliga matches at the Europa-Park Stadion and have won three of their previous four there, making this a tough trip for any visiting side.

Koln

Koln finally stopped the slide last weekend with a 2-1 win over Mainz, bringing an end to an eight-match winless run. That result helped steady the ship and leaves the Billy Goats 10th in the table after 18 games, with a fairly balanced record of five wins, five draws and eight defeats.

Goals have not been an issue recently, with over 2.5 goals landing in each of Koln’s last three Bundesliga matches. However, their struggles away from home remain a concern.

Koln are winless in their last five away league games, losing three and drawing two, and that poor road form could again hold them back here.

The Betting Verdict

SC Freiburg traditionally enjoy this fixture on home soil, winning nine of their last 11 home matches against Koln in all competitions.

With SC Freiburg strong at home and Koln still unreliable on their travels, the hosts look well placed to take something from this game once again. Back the home win at valuable odds.

The Pick :

SC Freiburg 2-0 Koln
