Borussia Dortmund hosts Freiburg in round 19 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, January 14th at Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund)
Marco Rose's team is in 2nd place in the Bundesliga standings with 37 points. Borussia Dortmund gained 12 victories and one draw and suffered five losses in 18 rounds. The Black-and-Yellows showed not the best results at the end of the last year. In four December rounds, they defeated only Greuther Furth at home (3-0). Moreover, the players of Rose left for the winter break with an away defeat to Hertha Berlin (3-2). They resumed their performance in the Bundesliga on January 8, when they faced Eintracht Frankfurt on its pitch. Borussia Dortmund won with a score of 3-2, but the beginning of the match did not foretell such an outcome. By the 24th minute, the Black-and-Yellows were losing with a score of 0-2 and could not turn the game around until the middle of the 2nd half. The situation changed in the last 20 minutes, when Thorgan Hazard, Jude Bellingham, and Mahmoud Dahoud upset the Eagles three times.

Christian Streich's team is in 4th place in the German championship standings with 30 points. Freiburg has eight victories, six draws, and four defeats after 18 rounds. Breisgau Brazilians have been undefeated in the league for three rounds in a row. They ended the December segment of the season with an away draw against Union Berlin (0-0) and a home victory over Bayer Leverkusen (2-1), which allowed them to leave on vacation in the top three. On January 8, Freiburg shared points with Arminia Bielefeld at home (2-2). The hosts had a playing advantage and were leading 2-0, but in the 2nd half, they stopped controlling the situation on the pitch and conceded twice in the final half an hour of regulation time.
Breisgau Brazilians usually perform poorly in Dortmund. Freiburg's only away victory happened in October 2001 (0-2). Since then, the teams have played 13 matches on the pitch of Borussia Dortmund, which ended in 12 victories for the Black-and-Yellows and one draw. Each of the teams has its trump cards. Borussia has the 2nd most productive attack in the Bundesliga after Bayern Munich (44 goals in 18 rounds), and Freiburg shares the lead with the Bavarians in terms of goals conceded (18). However, the reliable defense of Breisgau Brazilians kept a clean sheet in only one out of four previous rounds. The hosts will be the favorites of the upcoming game. Borussia Dortmund very rarely loses points at home in the current championship. In nine rounds, the Black-and-Yellows gained eight victories and lost only to Bayern (2-3). Therefore, they are likely to gain another home victory.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win with -1.0 handicap
