Betting Preview
RB Leipzig still have their eyes on the Bundesliga title despite losing their grip on the top spot in recent times.
The home side have one of the best home form in the League, having lost just two of the last 30 home games while winning 18 of those, in the same period. Leipzig led at half time in 16 of those 18 wins. Even without their boisterous crowd to cheer them on, the home side will want to continue to dominate at home.
Julian Nagelsmann are one of the highest-scoring teams in the Bundesliga, having plundered 62 goals in the League so far. As a result, 77.78% of their home wins have ended with a two or more goals margin.
On the other end of the pitch, though, Leipzig seem a bit porous at home, having kept only two clean sheets in 12 home games so far. When considered from another perspective, when the ”Red Bulls’Bulls’ score first, they seem to go on to win, as evidenced by their five wins in the last five top-flight matches they have scored first.
Freiburg meanwhile are poor on the road as they have recorded just one win in their last ten away outings, drawing four and losing five.
Freiburg would be buoyed by the absence of the boisterous fans of the home side and will be hoping to pick up their first top-flight win in three tries in the Red Bull Arena.
The visiting keeper who can expect to be kept busy will hope to add to his impressive league-high 95 saves. He will also hope that they can come away with just their 6th clean sheet in the League this season.
