Bologna (home)
- Bologna have two wins in their last two home games, including a 2-1 victory over Genoa in Serie A.
- Bologna are a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 side who prioritize being proactive in the attacking third and playing on the front foot. Regarding Bologna F.C. vs SC Freiburg betting tips, this offensive tendency could open up several options in the market.
- Italiano’s men press high up the field, win the ball back and play in a high-tempo, vertical style, which allows them to build attacks from the back.
- They’ve had some success with this system, especially at home where they have beaten Genoa in recent weeks, however, it does leave space in behind the defence and they have been exposed by some of the better sides in Italy so far this season.
Freiburg (away)
- Freiburg have three wins in their last five games and are unbeaten in their last three.
- Schuster, who took over in the summer, has maintained the club’s pragmatic style of play and his side will look to press in numbers when situations present themselves.
- Otherwise, Freiburg will remain compact and try to punish Bologna when they get too far forward.
- Freiburg will be very happy to sit in the space left behind Bologna’s attacking line and hit on the counterattack, something that should be considered in any Bologna F.C. vs SC Freiburg betting tips.
Key Players
- Riccardo Orsolini, who has three goals in Bologna’s last five matches, is the main threat for the hosts.
- Maximilian Eggestein, who scored in their only Europa League group stage match so far, is Freiburg’s most advanced threat.
- Vincenzo Grifo is the key creative player for the Germans, as his one assist in one Europa League match suggests.
Betting Insights
- Bologna have been in poor form recently with two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five, so the slight favorite odds of 1.93 look about right considering the home advantage.
- Freiburg should have enough to push for a result and are available at 3.9, while the draw is a big price at 3.5.
- Both Teams To Score is favored at 1.87, which is appropriate considering the matchup and both sides’ threat in transition.
Prediction
This Bologna F.C. vs SC Freiburg prediction is based on both clubs' current form and tactical setups. Bologna are a more natural side to go forward and have been able to dominate at times this season, but Freiburg’s compact, counter-oriented system also requires forward movement and they are a huge threat on the break.
