On Sunday afternoon, Freiburg and Augsburg clash at the Europa Park Stadion as both teams look to improve their recent records in the Bundesliga.
Freiburg form guideThe home team’s recent form in the German top flight has been poor, as they have failed to win in their last three league outings. A 0-0 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt last time out at least ended a two-game losing streak in the Bundesliga.
The game was a rare low-scoring game for Freiburg in the league, as over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of their last eight games in the Bundesliga.
Freiburg’s recent home record in the German top flight has been inconsistent, winning three and losing two of their last five league matches on home soil. Their recent league games at the Europa Park Stadion have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven matches.
Augsburg form guideThe visitors recorded their first Bundesliga victory of the season last time out, as they recorded a 2-1 win at Mainz. The win ended a winless streak of seven matches in the German top-flight.
Their recent Bundesliga games have been high-scoring, as over 2.5 goals have been scored in seven of their last eight matches.
Augsburg has been truly woeful in the German top-flight on their travels, as they are winless in their previous 15 league matches away from home, having picked up just three wins and suffered 12 losses.
A leaky defence has been the most significant factor in Augsburg’s recent away record in the Bundesliga, as they have conceded at least two goals in 15 of their last 16 league games on their travels.
What am I backing?Neither team has struggled for results in the Bundesliga. However, I am backing Freiburg to end their recent poor Bundesliga run simply because of the visitor's woeful away record.
