FC Augsburg vs. SC Freiburg
The 23rd matchday in the Bundesliga is upon us and on Saturday at 15:30 there is, among other things, the match between FC Augsburg and Sport-Club from Freiburg. Even though both teams are in completely different regions of the table, we expect an open game. The intentions of both teams are clear. Augsburg wants to put further pressure on Hertha and Arminia from Bielefeld with a win. Currently, the Bavarian Swabians are in 16th place with 22 points. Whether we think it will be enough for a win against Freiburg, you can find out in our Augsburg – Freiburg tip.
The upcoming opponents from the Black Forest have only managed to win one of their last five games, but coach Christian Streich’s team is still in a more than respectable 6th place. However, the 34 points are not a cushion to rest on, because the direct competition from Berlin and Cologne does not sleep. Freiburg could even jump to 4th place with a win.

Freiburg form & balance check
It was already clear at the end of the Hinrunde that SC Freiburg would not be able to keep up the good performances from the first half of the season until the end of the season. If we take a closer look at the last five games of the team from the Black Forest, coach Christian Streich’s players have only been able to record one victory. Also on the last matchday against FSV Mainz 05, Freiburg remained extremely pale, especially in the first half.
