Total Goals – Under 2.5
The last three meetings between Freiburg and Bielefeld all finished with less than three goals. For Bielefeld, this has been the norm of late with their last five fixtures concluding with Under 2.5 total goals scorelines. This has not been the case for the Vultures, who have only seen one of their last five fixtures finish in this manner. With 10 and 5 goals scored between them in this period, it should be a low scoring affair at the Europa-Park Stadion.
Both Teams to Score – No
Goals do not come easy for both Freiburg and Bielefeld. The Vultures have maintained their position thanks to their defensive excellence, while the Blues are struggling without it. Interestingly, Freiburg arrives with two of their last five fixtures seeing both sides score. For Bielefeld, four matches in this period have seen just one side score, the other being a 1-1 draw. As they face off against each other, it is easy to put our confidence behind one team scoring.

Christian Streich's tenth year in charge of SC Freiburg is turning into a revelation.
