Freiburg and RB Leipzig go head-to-head at the Europa-Park Stadion in a potentially high-scoring Bundesliga fixture. Remarkably, all but one of their ten top-flight H2Hs have featured 3+ total goals.
It’s been an utterly impressive start to the season for Freiburg so far, as they welcome the international break as the only side yet to lose a Bundesliga fixture (W4, D3). In addition to managing their best-ever start to a new top-flight campaign, the ‘Breisgau-Brasilianer’ have also set the club’s longest-ever unbeaten Bundesliga streak, meaning they will take the field in high spirits. The hosts will seek inspiration in their electric showings this season when they take on a Leipzig side they lost to in both top-flight H2Hs by an aggregate scoreline of 6-0 last term. Alarmingly, Freiburg have returned just one clean sheet from their ten Bundesliga meetings with this opposition, conceding an average of 2.3 goals per game across those match-ups.
In the meantime, Leipzig had gone from a three-match winless Bundesliga streak (D1, L2) to back-to-back league victories by 3+ goals ‘to nil’ before the international break curtailed their momentum. ‘Die Roten Bullen’ will be looking to pick up where they left off as they hope to snap the club’s longest-ever winless Bundesliga run away from home (6 – D1, L5). After a brace of narrow 1-0 defeats in their inaugural two top-flight trips this season, Leipzig fought back to hold Cologne to a 1-1 draw in their most recent league away fixture. Set-pieces could be the way for Jesse Marsch’s men to improve upon their paltry goalscoring return on the road, as they’ve netted a league-high seven goals from such plays this season. Curiously, two of Leipzig’s three away league goals conceded this term have come within ten minutes from the break, highlighting their vulnerability in the second half.
