Borussia Mönchengladbach – SC Freiburg
The 27th matchday of the Bundesliga season is coming up and it’s not long until the last matchday. Decisions are approaching, whether positive or negative, and every single team will have used this international break to discuss everything important again before entering this decisive phase.
Borussia Mönchengladbach and SC Freiburg face off on Saturday afternoon, two teams who can call themselves direct rivals and can still dream of Europe due to the density of the Bundesliga midfield. Find out who has the edge in this match in our Gladbach – Freiburg betting tip.
Gladbach drew for the third time in a row on the last matchday. After taking an early lead away against Heidenheim, Gladbach’s play lost the thread, as so often this season, and in the end they were unable to get more than a share of the points against their neighbors in the table.
A very combative last matchday lies behind Freiburg. In their own stadium, they were already 1-0 down in the second minute against the league leaders from Leverkusen and it threatened to be a bad game for the Breisgauers. However, they quickly equalized thanks to their morale and passion, but ultimately lost 3:2 despite a respectable performance.

Gladbach Form & Balance Check
Gladbach are in good form at the moment. They have been unbeaten in the league for four games, the only major thorn in their side being their elimination from the DFB Cup against third-division side Saarbrücken. However, they have only won two of their last ten games, which is definitely room for improvement. They will be looking to continue their unbeaten run in the league and secure their place in the upper midfield of the Bundesliga
Offensive strength
A Gladbach match this season is usually a high-scoring one. They have only failed to score a single goal four times this season and have the sixth-best offense in the league with 46 goals scored in 26 games so far. However, with 50 goals conceded, Borussia also have the third-worst defense in the league.
True to the principle: “Good up front, bad at the back”. If Gladbach can get a grip on their susceptibility to conceding goals, but at the same time continue to exude danger going forward, then this final phase could be very successful for them once again
Gladbach facts & analysis
- Third worst defense
- twelfth place in the table
- Last game draw
Freiburg Form & Balance Check
Freiburg’s season has been very solid so far, but they are currently in a bit of a dip in form. In the last ten games, they have only won twice, drawn three times and lost five times. In total, they have already suffered eleven defeats this season. The result is a ninth-place finish, although anything is still possible, both towards Europe and towards the bottom of the table
A big one leaves the stage
Christian Streich has been head coach of SCF since December 29, 2011 and will step down at the end of the season. From relegation and direct promotion to the Europa League round of 16, the coach has been through a lot with Freiburg. A true coaching legend who has shown real character. The team will want to give the coach a crowning finale and will therefore give everything in these last eight games to ensure that the last season remains a memorable one for Christian Streich.
Freiburg facts & analysis
- ninth place in the table
- Eleven defeats in the current season
- Last game lost
Gerardo Seoane is unlikely to change the line-up compared to the previous game. Kone is an option in midfield for Neuhaus or Reitz, and Netz could also rotate to the wing.
Christian Streich will hardly rotate. It is questionable whether Weißhaupt will be fit in time, if so, then he is an option for the left flank
