SC Freiburg – VfL Bochum
On Saturday, SC Freiburg will host VfL Bochum at their home in Europa Park Stadium. Freiburg got off to a mediocre start and are right in the middle of the table. Bochum, on the other hand, is stuck in the Bundesliga’s relegation battle – as was to be expected – and is one of three teams that hasn’t won at all yet this season.

Freiburg form & balance check
After two wins to start the season, however, Freiburg had to go without a win for the following three games. Only against Augsburg two matchdays ago, they got their second three-pointer season. The SCF is not really in form yet and with ten points they are currently in 9th place in the table. Also in the Champions League they lost the last game against West Ham and against FC Bayern went down on the last also with 3:0.
Favorite opponent VfL?
The offense in particular is still lacking. With seven goals, SCF has the fourth-worst offense in the Bundesliga. In the preseason, Freiburg conceded their third defeat only on the 14th matchday, this time it happened already on the 7th in the 0:3 against Bayern. Nevertheless, Freiburg should be looking forward to VfL, as they won their last four competitive games against them – the last Bundesliga games even all without conceding a goal.
Freiburg facts & analysis
- fourth worst offense
- 9th in the table
- four must-win game losses
Bochum form & balance check
It was clear to everyone involved before the season that VfL’s only concern this season is to stay in the class, so the yield of four points from seven games is sobering, but not unexpected. After all, they are currently in the relegation spot for relegation (16th place). Of course, the statistics don’t exactly speak in Bochum’s favor, the only positive aspect being that they have only conceded three defeats and have always shared the points four times.
Three strong draws
It’s quite impressive who the Bochum side took the points from, including three European Cup contenders in Dortmund, Frankfurt and Leipzig. They even scored 0:0 against RB Leipzig away from home. Will they get Freiburg, the next contender, into trouble? Therefore, one should not underestimate the VfL. With five goals, however, they have the second-worst offense and have also conceded the most goals with 19 – together with Mainz and Darmstadt.
Bochum facts & analysis
- Placed 16th in the Bundesliga.
- Still no win in the season
- Second worst offense
