Friday night’s Bundesliga encounter between Dortmund and Freiburg at Signal Iduna Park could be an enthralling clash.
BVB looking to maintain an unbeaten runDortmund goes into this clash on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga, recording three wins and three draws in the run.
The recent good run has moved BVB up to fourth place in the table, three points adrift of third-place Stuttgart, and a point ahead of RB Leipzig.
A goalless draw at Heidenheim last time out in the German top-flight ended a three-game winning run in the Bundesliga.
The game also saw a prolific run of scoring end for BVB, as they had scored at least three goals in each of their previous Bundesliga games.
Dortmund’s usually formidable home form in the Bundesliga has slipped slightly of late, as they have won just two of their last five matches at Signal Iduna Park.
Their recent home games in the German top flight have continued to provide goals and entertainment, as four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Hoping to end a losing streakFreiburg needs a positive result after back-to-back Bundesliga defeats against Werder Bremen and Stuttgart. In fact, Christian Streich’s team has now won just once in their last five league.
The team from the Black Forest have fallen to seventh place in the standings due to their recent poor run. However, they are still in touch with the European spots, just three points behind sixth-place Eintracht Frankfurt.
The visitor's recent games have at least provided goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five Bundesliga games.
Freiburg have found away wins in short supply lately, as they have claimed just two victories in their last nine games on their travels in the Bundesliga.
What am I backing?Dortmund have been unconvincing on home soil lately, while Freiburg’s away form hasn’t been great. One thing that seems consistent for both teams of late is goal-filled games, so with that in mind, I am backing over 2.5 goals scored.
