RB Leipzig vs. SC Freiburg
A very interesting clash in the Bundesliga awaits us on Saturday afternoon as Leipzig host Freiburg, who remain in contention for Europe. In addition, both were active in the DFB Cup during the week and were able to prevail in their respective games. While Leipzig advanced confidently to the semi-finals against Hannover, the Breisgauer were able to prevail dramatically and in the last second against Bochum.
Both have also been convincing in the Bundesliga recently. RB is the best team in the second half of the season and has won every match except the one in Munich. Freiburg continues to do well and is in 5th place in the table with 40 points. Find out who can improve their starting position after Matchday 25 in this Leipzig – Freiburg betting tip.

Leipzig Form & Balance Check
After a really bumpy start to the season, things finally seem to be going in the usual direction for Leipzig. They are the best team in the Rückrunde and have prevailed in both the Europa League and the DFB-Pokal. They are the only team already in the quarter-finals of the Euro League, as Spartak Moscow were excluded from the competition due to the Ukraine war. But we are sure that RB would have prevailed in sporting terms, too, because their current form is simply as strong as an ox.
Nkunku outshines them all
The French superstar of Leipzig is currently not only the key player in the team, but an absolute performer who is currently one of the best players in the Bundesliga. The 24-year-old has already shown his ability in the early years, but this season he adds an extreme scoring threat, which is reflected in 25 goals across the competition so far. Should Nkunku be able to maintain this form until the end of the season, we can’t see Leipzig keeping the Frenchman beyond the summer.
Leipzig facts & analysis
– Leipzig occupy 1st place in the second round table.
– They are the third best home team in the league
– They score an average of 2.9 goals per home game
Freiburg form & balance check
It’s been one of Freiburg’s best seasons in SCF history. They are currently in 5th place and sensationally reached the semi-finals of the Cup on Wednesday. Accordingly, they can actually win a title this season. A very positive surprise is above all the consistency of Christian Streich’s team. So far this season, there have hardly been any lows in which they have slumped or lost many games in a row. In the second half of the season, Freiburg are also on target and can keep their place in the top 6.
Can Freiburg withstand a double burden?
With ten matchdays to go, Freiburg will have to deal with European competition willy-nilly, even if that probably doesn’t suit Christian Streich. But if they keep up their points average, they will certainly play internationally next year. The team seems extremely stable and actually puts in strong performances from week to week. But whether they can withstand a possible double burden remains to be seen. After all, it was a problem a few years ago and the season went against relegation.
Freiburg facts & analysis
– 11 points from 7 games in the second half of the season.
– Freiburg are the fourth best away team in the league
– They won 3-0 against Hertha in their last match
Predicted line-up – last update on 3 March 2022
Tedesco can fall back on almost the entire personnel and is accordingly spoilt for choice. Rotation compared to the last game is possible, but it is very likely that Nkunku will play from the start. Forsberg could also get another chance from the start. For the visitors, Haberer will replace the yellow-suspended Höfler, and Höler could start in place of Petersen up front.
