Freiburg to add to Schalke’s recent woes
On Tuesday night, Freiburg host Schalke in the Bundesliga, as the visitors attempt to get their season back on track.
Freiburg have enjoyed a mixed start to their campaign in the German top-flight. The home side kicked off the campaign with two straight defeats before picking up four points from their last two league outings. Last time out, they recorded a 3-1 win at Wolfsburg.
Freiburg’s latest Bundesliga games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight games, including their last three outings.
The home side’s home record in the Bundesliga is not the best, as they have won just two of their last seven outings on home soil in the German top-flight.
Freiburg have been poor defensively on home soil of late, conceding at least two goals in six of their last seven home games in the Bundesliga. However, the home side has also scored at least two goals in three of their last four league games at home.
Schalke have made a shocking start to their Bundesliga campaign, losing all four of their league games so far this season. Last time out in the Bundesliga, the team from Gelsenkirchen suffered a 2-0 home defeat by champions Bayern Munich.
The defeat against the Bavarians means that Schalke have conceded at least two goals in all four of their league games so far this season.
Schalke’s recent away record in the Bundesliga is poor, as the visitors have won just one of their last five games on their travels in the German top-flight while suffering three defeats in that run of five games.
The visitors have been poor defensively on their travels of late, conceding at least two goals in four of their last five league outings in the road.
Forebet predicts that Freiburg will add to Schalke’s problems by recording a win in a high scoring clash.
