Vfl Bochum
After losing 5-2 to Borussia Monchengladbach, Vfl Bochum suffered another heavy defeat, 1-4 against RB Leipzig last week. They have conceded a whopping 50 goals in 24 games, which points to their miserable defending.
However, Vfl Bochum still is one of the better home teams, losing only in two of their 12 home games. Recently, they went unbeaten in five straight at home (three wins, two draws) before losing last week against RB Leipzig.
Midfielder Moritz-Broni Kwarteng got sent off last week and is suspended for this game.
SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg, together with the rock-bottom team of SV Darmstadt 98, is the team with the worst form in the Bundesliga. They failed to win any of their last six Bundesliga games, losing four times.
However, last weekend, they played a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich and won 1-0 against West Ham in the Europa League last Thursday, so perhaps SC Freiburg will start climbing up the Bundesliga table.
Currently sitting at mid-table, it looks like they cannot reach Europe. The pressure is high on them to win here because next week, they have a difficult game against the leaders, Bayer Leverkusen.
SC Freiburg’s defense has been very leaky in the past couple of months, conceding at least twice in their last seven Bundesliga matches.
On a positive note, SC Freiburg has won all their last five direct duels against Vfl Bochum in the Bundesliga.
The Betting Verdict
I am leaning more towards SC Freiburg to win this match as they are a more quality side. They showed solid performances in their last two unbeaten games against Bayern Munich and West Ham.
Vfl Bochum’s defense is very porous, and their form declined in recent weeks, so I would go with a double chance bet on SC Freiburg to remain unbeaten in this match.
