Stuttgart vs Freiburg prediction, odds & betting tips 01/02/2026

With the Bundesliga‘s Champions League race heating up, a win for hosts Stuttgart against Freiburg at MHPArena on Sunday could be crucial.

Stuttgart come into the clashing in fifth place with 36 points having beaten Borussia Monchengladbach 3-0 on January 25, whereas their opponents are in seventh place with 27 points following their 2-1 victory against FC Koln last weekend.

Stuttgart vs Freiburg prediction: Contrasting fortunes in attack

Key stats

• Stuttgart have scored 15 goals in their last six Bundesliga matches.
• Freiburg have failed to score in three of their past six away contests.
• The hosts have scored at least two goals in eight of their 13 clashes at home this season.

Correct score prediction: Stuttgart 2-1 Freiburg

Stuttgart should take confidence from the fact the visitors have struggled to create chances when they travel, so they should be able to limit their opponents on Sunday.

Given the hosts have often found the back of the net at MHPArena, Freiburg may find it difficult to take three points.

Stuttgart preview: Improved form of late

Die Roten will hope to extend their winning streak to three matches when they face the visitors, with the club having won six, drawn two and lost one one of their nine most recent outings.

Regulars Julian Chabot and Finn Jeltsch should be expected to start on Sunday given centre-back Dan-Axel Zagadou is dealing with a thigh injury.

Predicted lineup: Nubel (GK), Vagnoman, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstadt, Karazor, Stiller, Fuhrich, El Khannouss, Leweling & Undav

Last five results:

• Stuttgart 3-2 Young Boys
• Borussia Monchengladbach 0-3 Stuttgart
• Roma 2-0 Stuttgart
• Stuttgart 1-1 Union Berlin
• Stuttgart 3-2 Eintracht Frankfurt

Freiburg preview: Mixed performances

Freiburg have triumphed in just one of their past three Bundesliga matches, though they were only beaten once in that period, while the club have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five games in all competitions.

With centre-back Philipp Lienhart ruled out of the weekend's clash, Matthias Ginter and Max Rosenfelder may be trusted in the heart of Freiburg's back four.

Predicted lineup: Atubolu (GK), Treu, Ginter, Rosenfelder, Gunter, Eggestein, Manzambi, Beste, Suzuki, Scherhant & Matanovic

Last five results:

• Lille 1-0 Freiburg
• Freiburg 2-1 FC Koln
• Freiburg 1-0 Maccabi Tel Aviv
• Augsburg 2-2 Freiburg
• RB Leipzig 2-0 Freiburg

Player to watch: Deniz Undav

There is no doubt that Deniz Undav has been Stuttgart's best forward this season, with the striker having scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 25 games in all competitions.

Undav has scored four goals and registered three assists in his last six matches, and Stuttgart have failed to win the past five fixtures that he failed to score or assist in.
