German Bundesliga
2025-08-23 - SC Freiburg vs Augsburg
A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Europa Park Stadion – Freiburg
Saturday, 23rd August 2025 - kickoff 15:30 CET
SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg finished a strong 6th in the Bundesliga with Julian Schuster leading them as head coach for the first time. Ritsu Doan was their top scorer with 10 goals, but he joined Eintracht Frankfurt this summer.
SC Freiburg routinely won 2-0 against Sportfreunde Lotte in the opening round of the DFB Cup last weekend, so they seem to be prepared for this Bundesliga season.
An interesting fact is that SC Freiburg's home record against Augsburg is their best against any other Bundesliga team, beating them 9 times in the last 10 duels at their Europa Park Stadium.
However, a negative thing is that SC Freiburg have won only once in their last six games in Freiburg overall.
One advantage of SC Freiburg is that they have won their opening Bundesliga game in each of the past three seasons.
Augsburg
Augsburg are in transition. They finished 12th last season, losing all their last four games.
That poor end of the campaign led to the sacking of their head coach, Jess Thorup, plus now they have a few new players who should form the core of the team.
Augsburg also won 2-0 against lowly Halle in their opening cup game, prepping for this match.
The Betting Verdict
Here’s how I see this - SC Freiburg are stable, cohesive, and have continuity.
Augsburg, on the other hand, are reorganizing, with new personnel still finding rhythm. It feels like Freiburg will edge this one, and I don’t expect many goals here.
