Goals Scored: 40
Goals conceded: 26
Last 5 games: D,WWW, D
Clean Sheets: 5
The inconsistency has been a big worry for Dortmund this season. From missing the league title on the final matchday of last season, the team’s performance has gone downhill this year. They find themselves 4th in the table (10-7-3), and 15 points behind the leaders, Bayer Leverkusen. With less than half of the season remaining, winning the leaders seems impossible. However, they can still look to aim for the automatic Champions League qualification by finishing third.
Freiburg
Goals Scored: 26
Goals Conceded: 34
Last 5 games: LLWDL
Clean Sheets: 7
The team ranks 2nd in the league in clean sheets but has recently struggled. Three defeats in their previous five games have repositioned them to 7th on the table. Moreover, 26 goals in 20 games indicate a deficiency in their attack. Furthermore, the team has conceded 34 goals so far, which puts their goal difference in negative. This is a major setback compared to their last season’s performance, where they finished fifth and qualified for the Europa League group stage.

Final Pick and Prediction
The two teams are desperate to win after unfavorable outcomes in their respective last outings. However, Borussia Dortmund’s overall graph seems better and safe, backed by the home support. Can expect Freiburg to come out all guns blazing but it seems that the home team will have the last laugh. Expect goals in the fixture with a lot of entertainment.
