Freiburg Form & Balance Check
Freiburg is in 4th place in the Bundesliga table and has made a solid start. However, the team suffered a surprising defeat against St. Pauli (0-3) in their last home game. They made up for that defeat in their last game against Werder Bremen with a 1-0 win away from home. A win against Augsburg would give the Breisgauer the best start to the season in the history of the club. Freiburg’s current form points to a win. Nevertheless, Freiburg will approach the game with more caution due to the home defeat three weeks ago.
Favorite opponent Augsburg
Freiburg will face Augsburg with their chest out, as recent encounters have mostly gone well for them. They have not lost a Bundesliga home game against Augsburg since 2014. In the last 11 direct duels, Freiburg have only suffered one defeat, with seven wins and three draws.
This statistic gives the Breisgauer additional self-confidence, as they are not only in good form, but also have a successful record against their upcoming opponent. It remains to be seen whether Freiburg can continue this streak and further consolidate their hold on first place in the league.

Augsburg Form & Bilanz Check
Augsburg are currently in 13th place in the Bundesliga and have collected seven points from six games so far. In the last game, they put in a combative performance and defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1. In the first half, Schlotterbeck put the FCA 1-0 up in the 38th minute. In the second half, Augsburg was more consistent in front of goal, and Claude Maurice increased the lead to 2-0 in the 65th minute. Mönchengladbach was able to reduce the deficit to 2-1 in the 72nd minute, but Augsburg defended the lead until the final whistle.
Despite only 39% possession, Augsburg were the more dangerous team, taking a total of 14 shots on goal. This win gives the team added momentum to face Freiburg, who are in fine form, with courage and competitiveness.
Away weakness
If Augsburg want to pull off an away win, they will have to score on the road for the first time this season. So far, their away games have been disappointing: they suffered significant 0:4 defeats against both Heidenheim and Leipzig. This makes them one of the few teams not to have picked up a point away from home. This negative trend is not new; Augsburg have now lost six away games in a row, including last season. If they suffer another defeat, it would be the longest losing streak in the club’s history in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg facts & analysis
- Augsburg last won in 2014 at Freiburg
- 13th place in the Bundesliga
- Won the last league game against Gladbach
Freiburg will line up in a classic 4-2-3-1 formation that provides stability in defense while also enabling quick transitions. However, coach Christian Streich will be without several key players, including Merlin Röhl (ankle ligament rupture) and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (knee surgery), which limits the rotation options.
Augsburg are playing in a 3-4-2-1 system, which provides more flexibility in midfield and a compact defense. The Fuggerstadt team are also struggling with injury problems: Keven Schlotterbeck (muscle strain) and Rubén Vargas (ankle injury), among others, are not available, which reduces the options in defense and offense.
Freiburg – Augsburg Head to Head & Statistics
In 38 meetings, Freiburg have won 20 times while Augsburg have only managed eight wins. Ten matches have ended in a draw, with Freiburg clearly dominating the balance. The Breisgauer are also favorites in the upcoming duel. Given their strong form and statistics, we also believe that Freiburg will win the game.
