A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Europa-Park Stadion – Freiburg
Saturday, 12th September 2026 - kickoff 15:30 CET
SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg have won all five competitive matches this season, including a 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen and a 0-1 away win against SC Paderborn. The latter was their first Bundesliga away game of the campaign and, despite a tougher second half, they protected the lead to maintain their perfect record.
There is plenty to like about SC Freiburg at home, too. They lost only three of 25 matches at the Europa-Park Stadion in all competitions last season and have now gone 18 Bundesliga home games without defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach (12 wins and six draws).
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach lost both of their opening two Bundesliga games for the first time in 10 years.
Not only that, but they have already conceded seven goals. After a 3-0 away defeat against Leipzig, they threw away a 3-1 lead against newly promoted SV Elversberg before losing 3-4 at home to a 93rd-minute winner last week.
The defensive situation has become even more awkward with Nicolas-Gerrit Kühn now ruled out for several weeks after suffering a thigh injury against SV Elversberg. Jens Castrop, Enzo Leopold, Daiki Hashioka and Yukhym Konoplya are also unavailable, leaving coach Eugen Polanski with a growing list of absentees.
The Betting Verdict
SC Freiburg are difficult to oppose based on what they’ve shown so far. They have won five of five competitive games, are unbeaten in 18 straight home Bundesliga meetings with Borussia Mönchengladbach, and face a side that has already conceded seven times while throwing away a two-goal advantage last weekend.
The price on SC Freiburg will probably get shorter, so SC Freiburg to win is the straightforward play. For a little more value, SC Freiburg winning with over 1.5 team goals is worth considering given Borussia Mönchengladbach's defensive issues.
