RB Leipzig – Freiburg

Leipzig has a great chance to win the match against Freiburg.

Leipzig, after last season, for the first time since reaching the top level of German football, did not qualify for European competitions. However, in the current Bundesliga season, this remains the Bulls' main advantage over their rivals. Ole Werner's charges, who took over the team in the off-season, have the opportunity to calmly prepare for each upcoming round of the league, without being distracted by international travel and physical exertion. Moreover, in the season's opening match, Leipzig lost to Bayern Munich 0-6, which for a while left their fans in a state of shock. Fortunately, it proved short-lived, as from the second match of the season the Bulls began to win fairly consistently. Leipzig is currently the only club in the top half of the table that has not started its 2026 football program. The match from the previous round between Werner's men and St. Pauli was postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions. Freiburg this season is performing its usual role, representing Germany in the Europa League. And it is doing so rather successfully; after six rounds they sit fifth in the overall standings. In the Bundesliga, Freiburg looks somewhat more modest than last season, which means they'll face a tough test in Leipzig. The bookmakers have made the home side favorites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.73 on their victory. Leipzig needed a break like no other in December last year. This was the first time in half a season that the Bulls lost two games in a row, leaving them in a not-so-great mood at the break. Nevertheless, such setbacks will help Leipzig's players reset for the upcoming encounter. And the hosts' track record of beating Freiburg in particular is substantial. Interestingly, Leipzig have won all three home matches against this club since 2022, each time by 3-1. The visitors finished the previous year on a good run, and began the new year with a home win over Hamburg by 2-1. It should be noted that Freiburg faced a division rookie, and he scored both goals while his side was a man up. Let's place a bet on Leipzig's victory.
