On Sunday, starting at 17:00, the Stuttgart-Freiburg game will be held in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, 2018-2019.
Stuttgart is unbeaten in the last seven straight games with Freiburg, and the tour confrontation ended undecided, score 3-3.
Markus Weinzierl’s “Sweepers” have a series of four consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga, which ranks 16th in the standings with just 14 points. They started hard on their own, but in the last four games of the Mercedes-Benz Arena scored 6 goals, registering 2 successes in this interval. Benjamin Pavard signed with Bayern in the summer, but from the injury suffered, Stuttgart cashed 15 goals. “White-red” is one of the three Bundesliga teams that have received 18 goals at home with Werder Bremen and Hannover.
Freiburg has only achieved two successes away during the season, on the field of modest “home” teams, Nurnberg and Wolfsburg. “Black and white” have a 7-point lead over their last relegation position, Stuttgart, but they do not have to “lie on one ear”. Christian Streich’s team has won 7 goals in the last two rounds of the Bundesliga, with Frankfurt and Hoffenheim, but the move from Stuttgart is not a simple one. Freiburg has not defeated the 2011 Swabians, and last season he left home with a 0-3 score.
Stuttgart’s defensive vulnerability may make them “knock on wheels” in confrontation with Freiburg. The guests are able to score easily, while the hosts practice an “open” football, meant to create opportunities for the goal. We believe that both sides will be able to score, and Stuttgart is slightly favorite.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.86
