Freiburg have seen over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 11 matches against RBL in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in RBL's last 3 away games (Bundesliga). Freiburg are undefeated in their last 7 home matches (Bundesliga). RBL have failed to win their last 6 away matches (Bundesliga).
RB Leipzig lost influential captain Marcel Sabitzer to rivals Bayern Munich and have started poorly under new coach Jess Marsch with three defeats already in the Bundesliga. Freiburg will be a tough nut to crack, unbeaten at home in seven games, while Leipzig have not won on their travels in six games. Freiburg are never pushovers on home soil, but Leipzig's last away win came in Freiburg in March and this is too close to call. 1:1
Maximilian Eggestein has bolstered midfield after record signing Baptiste Santamaria moved back to France in a switch to Rennes. Nicolas Hofler is over his foot injury. Nils Petersen has returned from a knee operation, Jonathan Schmid is on his way back from COVID-19, so Lukas Kübler could slot in on the left. Promising youngster Kimberly Ezekwem is fit after a muscle injury. Marcelo Saracchi is recovering from an ACL injury, while Marcel Halstenberg has an ankle injury. Dani Olmo is also sidelined for a few weeks. Youngster Josko Gvardiol has signed from Dynamo Zagreb and could keep out ex-Manchester City man Angelino. Brian Brobbey had to go off injured playing for Netherlands U21 and will be out for a couple of weeks. Mohamed Simakan has signed from Strasbourg in France and has been reasonably impressive in defence so far.
