Augsburg (home)
- Augsburg have won one of their last five Bundesliga matches (D1, L3).
- Augsburg are 15th in the Bundesliga, with 14 points from their 16 games, and Manuel Baum, who took over in December 2025, is still looking for his side’s identity.
Freiburg (away)
- Freiburg have won three of their last five Bundesliga fixtures (D1, L1).
- Freiburg are eighth in the Bundesliga with 23 points from their first 16 matches and Julian Schuster’s side are pushing for a European finish.
- Since taking over the helm in July 2024, the tactician has brought structure to SC Freiburg and they come into this clash following back-to-back victories - an epic 4-3 win over Wolfsburg and a more composed 2-1 home success against Hamburg.
Head-to-Head
- Augsburg beat Freiburg 3-1 away from home in the last meeting in the Bundesliga, four months ago.
- Augsburg have been unbeaten in their last two home Bundesliga matches (W1, D1), and Freiburg have not managed a win in their last two away visits to Augsburg in the league, so we’re not expecting an easy trip for Schuster’s men on Sunday.
Key Players
- Fabian Rieder has been a key man for Augsburg this season, with the Swiss winger scoring three Bundesliga goals in 14 appearances, but Freiburg’s talisman is Vincenzo Grifo.
- The Italian is no longer a regular goal scorer at 6 in 16 Bundesliga appearances but he is the heartbeat of his team and orchestrates the play from deep in a 4-2-3-1 system.
Betting Insights
- With Augsburg having scored just 1.12 goals per home match and conceded 1.88 per home match, and both teams to score looking a heavy favorite at 1.67, it looks like both sides will score on Sunday.
- However, the odds favor Freiburg at 2.48, while Augsburg are listed at 2.76 with a draw at 3.3, which suggests that the value lies with the away side to nick a result in what should be a very close contest.
Prediction
The odds suggest the value lies with Freiburg to nick a result in what should be a very close contest, and both teams to score looks likely.
