Freiburg vs Hoffenheim Analysis
Freiburg Preview
It has been an encouraging start to the season for the hosts this weekend, and they will be confident coming into this Freiburg vs Hoffenheim matchup based on their recent record in the fixture. However, the Freiburg roster will need a return to form.
The German side have gone two without a win in the competition, which came after winning three on the bounce. However, they did at least avoid losing a second straight match following the winter break after picking up a point last weekend.
It wasn’t the most thrilling match last weekend, but Freiburg would have been frustrated after playing out a 0-0 draw against Union Berlin. The hosts dominated the ball, but the Bundesliga team stats show that they managed just four shots on target.
Scoring goals hasn’t been an issue for the hosts throughout the season, and that is evident by the fact that they have netted five across their last four in the Bundesliga.
Hoffenheim Preview
The pressure increased on the visitors this weekend, as Hoffenheim require a return to form after losing two of their last three. They are also winless over that sequence, and they have recorded just one victory from their last five in the Bundesliga.
That form has seen them drop to eighth in the standings, and a second straight loss this weekend could enable Heidenheim to move level on points with them. A defeat could also see them lose ground on the top six, as they could end the day adrift by six points.
Questions have been asked of the Hoffenheim defense in recent weeks, as no side in the top nine have allowed more goals than the visitors this weekend. The Bundesliga player stats show that their defenders make fewer tackles and interceptions, and that would be a concern.
The German side will be back in calmer waters this weekend after they were blown away by Bayern Munich in their first match following the winter break. But, they will be without Grischa Promel, who was sent off at the Allianz Arena last weekend.
Freiburg vs Hoffenheim Head to Head
Freiburg are unbeaten in their last five matches against Hoffenheim across all competitions, landing four wins over that period. They landed a 2-1 success in this exact fixture last term. Hoffenheim’s only win in ten previous matches against Freiburg across all competitions was in December 2021.
