FREIBURG VS STUTTGART PREVIEW & PREDICTION
On Friday, starting at 19:30, the Freiburg – Stuttgart match will be played from the 17th round of the Bundesliga. Both teams are in good shape and have moved away from the relegation area, so we expect a balanced match.
Fri, 19:30: Freiburg – Stuttgart
In the last round, black and white won a 0-0 draw with Hertha and thus stayed 5 points away from Mainz, the first team under the red line. Even if Bayern Munich gave 4-0, we can overlook that match because Bayern is still a rival force in the Bundesliga this season. If we do not take this defeat into account, they have only one defeat in the last 10 games, moving from Hannover to 1-2. Even though the Freiburg game seems to be a little weaker than the one played in Leipzig, Dortmund and Leverkusen or Frankfurt, they still remain an extremely awkward band. On their own ground they had not lost before the match with Bayern in November. Even in the injury chapter they are not bad, one player being definitely unavailable while the other three are uncertain. The main point is that they can be easily replaced and Freiburg will not have the game affected.
On the other side of Stuttgart there is another team. Since defeating Schlake, they have scored a draw, followed by four consecutive wins that culminated in another draw in the last leg, Leipzig. The greatest improvement in the team seems to be the moral aspect of the players. We could see that once they scored, and made it almost match match, they appear intelligent without taking the step back. Basically, Stuttgart looks like a big team, maybe even bigger than Monchengladbach, for example at this time. Friday guests have 4 players unavailable as before, so we should see a first 11 similar to the “flying” lately. The superiority and confidence of the Stuttgart game makes their share declining continuously. It is also interesting that in the last five direct matches with Freiburg Maxim’s team did not lose even once. Their form and play is so good at this point that if they continue at the same pace they have real chances of winning a European Cup seat although they are now in 10th place.
Finally, we consider this game to be spectacularly spectacular and we expect goals at both gates. We will meet two solid and inconvenient teams that will not just try to annihilate each other but get all three points.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.65
