Augsburg vs Freiburg prediction, odds & betting tips 18/01/2026

Freiburg's quest to secure European football could take a significant blow if they lose Sunday's Bundesliga clash against hosts Augsburg at WWK Arena.

The hosts are fourth last in 15th place with just 15 points, whereas their opponents are in eighth place with 23 points, with their tally six fewer than sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who occupy the division's Conference League spot.

Augsburg vs Freiburg prediction: Lack of goals?

Key stats

• Augsburg have kept three clean sheets in their last four league games at home.
• Freiburg have conceded 13 goals in their five most recent away fixtures.
• The hosts have failed to score in seven of their past 11 matches in all competitions.

Correct score prediction: Augsburg 1-0 Freiburg

Augsburg's offensive record may not be particularly impressive, but their defensive performances at WWK Arena have been strong in recent weeks.

If Freiburg are as poor on Sunday as they have been away from home in the past months, then it would not be surprising if they failed to take any points.

Augsburg preview: Struggling for wins of late

Augsburg drew 1-1 with Union Berlin on Thursday, and that was the fourth time in four games that they failed to win, a period in which they drew twice.

Augsburg's backline could feature centre-backs Noah Banks, Keven Schlotterbeck and Cedric Zesiger given Jeffrey Gouweleeuw is currently injured.

Predicted lineup: Dahmen (GK), Banks, Schlotterbeck, Zesiger, Fellhauer, Jakic, Massengo, Giannoulis, Kade, Claude-Maurice & Gregoritsch

Last five results:

• Augsburg 1-1 Union Berlin
• Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 Augsburg
• Augsburg 0-0 Werder Bremen
• Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 Augsburg
• Augsburg 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen

Freiburg preview: Momentum halted

Freiburg suffered a 2-0 defeat against RB Leipzig on Thursday, though they had won three and drawn one of their prior four matches.

Centre-back Philipp Lienhart has been ruled out of Sunday's clash, and his absence may lead to starts for Matthias Ginter and Anthony Jung in the middle of a back four.

Predicted lineup: Atubolu (GK), Kubler, Ginter, Jung, Makengo, Eggestein, Osterhage, Beste, Manzambi, Grifo & Matanovic

Last five results:

• RB Leipzig 2-0 Freiburg
• Freiburg 2-1 Hamburger SV
• Wolfsburg 3-4 Freiburg
• Freiburg 1-1 Borussia Dortmund
• Freiburg 1-0 RB Salzburg

Player to watch: Dimitrios Giannoulis

Augsburg attacker Dimitrios Giannoulis has scored two goals and provided two assists in the Bundesliga this season, and only Fabian Rieder has more goal contributions for the club this term (five).

Giannoulis has netted once and registered two assists in his last six matches, and while he has not been particularly productive, the forward's return is admirable considering the poor attacking quality in the squad.
