RB Leipzig
- RB Leipzig are in 3rd place in the Bundesliga (29 points from 15 games).
- Leipzig have two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five Bundesliga matches and are coming off a 0-0 draw with FC St. Pauli.
Freiburg
- Freiburg are 8th (23 points from 16 matches).
- Freiburg have taken three wins and a draw from their last five Bundesliga fixtures and come into this game after back-to-back victories.
- They won 4-3 in a thriller at VfL Wolfsburg and then followed that up with a routine 2-1 success at home to Hamburger SV.
Head-to-Head
- RB Leipzig have won four of the last five meetings with Freiburg in all competitions (1 draw).
- The two sides played out a 0-0 draw at Europa Park in the Bundesliga last season.
- Ole Werner was installed as RB Leipzig’s head coach in July 2025 and has quickly got the team to play a structured, possession-based game with a high tempo.
- The team will press the ball relentlessly and look to play forward quickly, while the back three or back four are highly flexible, allowing the wingers to push on and create chaos in behind opposition defences.
- This fixture is a real tactical clash in that Freiburg are the polar opposite of Leipzig.
- Schuster, who took over in July 2024, has kept the same approach that has served the club so well in the past, with the focus on structure, compactness, and pressing, but also the ability to counter quickly.
Key Players
- Vincenzo Grifo is their ‘main man’ in the front line and he has been in good form recently with six goals from his 16 Bundesliga appearances.
- He's capable of unlocking any defence with his creativity, and he will be the chief architect of any Freiburg counter-attacks.
Betting Insights
- Leipzig are the favourites here, but the odds on the hosts (1.85) are too short in our eyes, while the odds for Freiburg (4.32) and the draw (4.11) are more appealing.
- The Over 2.5 goals line is also favoured at 1.66 as Leipzig will push for the win, and with Freiburg in good attacking form and dangerous from set-pieces, we could see plenty of goalmouth action.
Prediction
With Christoph Baumgartner providing a focal point in attack with six Bundesliga goals in 15 appearances, the draw no bet market makes the most sense to us.
