Dortmund vs Freiburg Prediction & Match Preview

• Freiburg enter this tie off the back of successive 1-3 defeats to Werder and Stuttgart.
• Dortmund won three and drew one of four league games in 2024.
• Niclas Fullkrug completed a hat-trick in Borussia’s previous home match.

Borussia Dortmund dropped their first points in 2024 last Friday. They failed to break the deadlock in a disappointing goalless draw away at Heidenheim on the occasion. Edin Terzic’s men will be looking to return to winning ways this Friday when they host Freiburg in the first game of Matchday No 21.

Borussia Dortmund missed numerous chances and had a goal disallowed seven days ago at Heidenheim. They had previously scored three or more goals in each of three successive wins this year. They are only one point above fifth-placed RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga standings. Der BVB can thus ill afford home slip-ups in the battle for the top-four finish and a place in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Freiburg’s ambitions of challenging European positions suffered a serious blow after successive 1-3 defeats to Werder Bremen and Stuttgart in the last two rounds. Head coach Christian Streich has huge problems with the lack of meticulousness in his team’s defensive line. Freiburg have conceded 34 goals in the inaugural 20 games of the season.

Dortmund vs Freiburg Prediction

Home win in a high-scoring encounter is the way to go here. Freiburg have been weak defensively throughout the whole season. They leaked too many goals in recent outings in particular. Christian Streich’s men allowed eight goals in the previous three Bundesliga affairs. Borussia have a strong home record and we expect them to snatch the win on Friday. However, we can also see the visitors on target. Both teams scored in each of the previous six head-to-head outings between these rivals. The same scenario happened in four of Freiburg’s last five league affairs. Borussia Dortmund to win & Both Teams To Score bet is paid at the 2.75 odds.

Freiburg boast one of the weakest defensive records in the league with 34 goals conceded in 20 matches this term. This will be the music to the ears of Niclas Fukllkrug. The German forward completed a hat-trick in Dortmund’s previous home match two weeks ago against Bochum. He has four goals in the last three appearances. We will back Borussia’s top scorer to score anytime on Friday at the 2.37 odds.
