Freiburg vs Stuttgart prediction: The Visitors have dominated recent meetings
Key stats
- Both teams scored in three of Freiburg's last five fixtures.
- Four of Stuttgart's last five matches in all competitions recorded goals from both teams.
- Stuttgart claimed all three points with a 4-0 win in their last meeting.
- The home side have conceded 10 goals in their last three Bundesliga games.
Correct score prediction: Freiburg 1-1 Stuttgart
Freiburg have had a difficult start to the season, losing their first two league games of the campaign. With those results, the home side have recorded three successive losses in the Bundesliga, with 10 goals conceded in that time.
Stuttgart have dominated the last five meetings between these two sides, and given the results that Freiburg have posted in their first two games of the season, they are likely to struggle this weekend.
However, that is not to say they cannot turn their season around, beginning from this weekend, when they clash with the visitors.

- HOME: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 13/10 (2.30) – 43.5%

Freiburg preview: Will the home side score for the third game running?
Despite their difficulty in registering a victory in two league games this season, the home side have shown that they can find the back of the net, having registered at least a goal in each of their first two fixtures this season.
However, they will be without Daniel Kyereh, who is out with a knee injury, and Igor Matanovic, who is recuperating from an unspecified injury.
Predicted lineup: Atubolu (GK), Kubler, Ginter, Lienhart, Gunter, Eggestein, Mazanbi, Dinkci, Suzuki, Grifo & Holer

Stuttgart preview: Can they get their first win after back-to-back losses?
Stuttgart have claimed just one victory in the Bundesliga this term, and their situation is not helped by the number of injuries they are dealing with at the moment.
Star man Deniz Undav is sidelined with a knee injury, the same as Fabian Bredlow, while Justin Diehl is out with a muscle injury.
Predicted lineup: Nubel (GK), Hendricks, Mittelstadt, Vagnomann, Jeltsch, Stiller, Karazor, Leweling, Fuhric, Tomas & Demirovic

Player to watch: Ermedine Demirovic
Ermedine Demirovic led Stuttgart with 15 goals in the 20245-25 season, but he is yet to break his duck this season. Going into this encounter, and despite failing to score in two matches this term, he will be a threat to the Freiburg defence.
