Freiburg to boost European chances against Dusseldorf
SC Freiburg vs Fortuna Düsseldorf - 22/02/2020
1828
On Saturday afternoon, Freiburg will attempt to enhance their chances of landing a European spot for next season when they host struggling Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Freiburg will believe that a top-six finish in the Bundesliga is not out of reach. They are currently seventh place in the German top-flight table, just three points behind sixth-place Schalke.
Christian Streich’s team have been highly inconsistent of late in the Bundesliga, winning just one of their last four league outings. Last time out the home side drew 1-1 with Augsburg. Their recent league matches have been relatively low-scoring in the Bundesliga, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league matches.
Freiburg’s recent home form has been mixed, as they have won four of their last six Bundesliga games on home soil. Their recent home matches in the league have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five home outings.
Fortuna Dusseldorf are in the precarious position of occupying the relegation play-off. In fact, they are only outside the Bundesliga relegation zone courtesy of superior goal difference to 17th place Werder Bremen.
A run of just one win in their last 12 Bundesliga games has been the reason for Dusseldorf’s current lowly position in the table.
A 4-1 home defeat against Monchengladbach last time out means that the visitors have failed to win in five league games while losing six of their last nine matches in the Bundesliga.
Dusseldorf have been woeful travellers of late in the Bundesliga, failing to win in ten away games in the German top-flight, while suffering seven defeats. The fact that Freiburg have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last ten Bundesliga matches on their travels has been a big factor in their poor results.
Forebet predicts that Freiburg will add to Dusseldorf’s relegation worries by recording a victory in a low-scoring clash.
