In round 13 with the Bundesliga on Saturday, December 1st, Borussia Dortmund – SC Freiburg will be played. The confrontation will take place on “Signal Iduna Park”, starting at 14:30. “The Yellow-Blacks” want to further strengthen their leadership position.
After the success of Mainz, score 2-1, the hosts maintained their four-point lead over the main pursuer. After a white first half, Alcacer opened the score in the 66th minute, just two minutes after entering the field. Thus, the Iberian has achieved 9 successes in the championship, being both the team’s top scorer and the championship, alongside Haller and Jovic in Frankfurt. An interesting aspect is that Alcacer scored almost all the goals (8) in the stand-up position. Faced with a single batch problem, Schmelzer’s injury, Lucien Favre can line up the best 11 in an attempt to keep going almost perfectly from home: 5 wins and a re-run.
On the other hand, with only one victory in the last seven stages, the guests only rank 11th in the standings. In the previous round, they missed the chance to improve their situation after being equalized in the 90 + 2 minute of confrontation with Bremen. It was the 5th result of this year’s draw. Only Hetha Berlin has such a high draw. Christian Streich, the coach of Freiburg, has a really disastrous track record in front of the BVB. Christian has yielded no less than 9 out of 11 direct confrontations. The most dramatic defeat suffered in the autumn of 2013, after a 0-5. Borello, Hofler, Kath and Sallai are injured and will not evolve.
Probable teams:
Dortmund: Bürki – Piszczek, Akanji, Zagadou, Hakimi – Witsel, Delaney – Sancho, Reus (c), Bruun Larsen – Götze
Freiburg: Schwolow – Stenzel, Gulde, Heintz, Günter (c) – Koch, Gondorf – Terrazzino, Haberer – Petersen, Waldschmidt
The last direct confrontation, disputed in January, ended undecided, score 2-2. It was just the second positive result of Freiburg in the last 14 straight games. In 11 of these, the table suffered at least three diminutions.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.48
