Freiburg to Win
Freiburg have found some form in recent weeks and their 2-1 triumph over Stuttgart last time out was their third victory in four matches in league and cup in Germany. Bochum meanwhile, have lost four out of five assignments and they have drifted to within just one place and two points of the Bundesliga drop zone. Freiburg have won each of their last three encounters with Die Unabsteigbaren and our first Bochum vs Freiburg prediction backs the visitors to extend that fine run this weekend.
Both Teams to Score
While Freiburg could have what it takes to leave the Vonovia Ruhrstadion with all three points this weekend, a clean sheet might be more difficult for the visitors to secure. Bochum have scored in seven of their nine Bundesliga home assignments in 2022/23, while BTTS landed in 67% of the same games. Freiburg have clocked just one shutout in six matches on the road, so back both teams find the net again in this one.

Bochum vs Freiburg Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Bochum vs Freiburg lineups and team news for Saturday’s Bundesliga encounter below.
Bochum
Keeper Michael Esser is out with a muscle complaint, while defender Cristian Gamboa and attacker Gerrit Holtmann are also sidelined for the next while. In better news, Philipp Forster and Erhan Masovic should return to the matchday squad following colds. Bochum were swept aside by Bayern Munich in a 3-0 reverse last time out.
Predicted Lineup for Bochum: Riemann – Janko, Ordets, Masovic, Stafylidis – Kunde, Losilla – Zoller, Forster, Antwi-Adjei – Hofmann
Freiburg
Daniel-Kofi Kyereh remains a long-term absentee with an ACL injury for Freiburg, though manager Christian Streich has a strong squad to pick from elsewhere. Freiburg came from behind to beat struggling Stuttgart last weekend, though they needed two penalty kicks from Vincenzo Grifo in the second half to seal the points.
Predicted Lineup for Freiburg: Flekken – Kubler, Ginter, Lienhart, Gunter – Eggestein, Hofler, Doan, Sallai Grifo – Gregoritsch
Player to Watch – Vincenzo Grifo
Vincenzo Grifo has scored almost a third of Freiburg’s total Bundesliga goals this season and he added two more to his tally in the club’s 2-1 win over Stuttgart last weekend. The 29-year-old Italian had never reached double-figures for a single top tier campaign for the Breisgau-Brasilianer before, though he should move closer to 20 goals before the season is out.
