Freiburg take on the visitors Hertha Berlin in the round 26 match of Germany Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 1st at Europa-Park Stadion (Freiburg).
Freiburg under Christian Streich's management have been impressive. For the second season in a row, the team is fighting for a place in the European competitions. They are currently sitting in fourth place in the league table, with only three points separating them from third place. Freiburg's home matches are their strong suit. In their last four home games in the Bundesliga, they have won three matches against Hoffenheim (3-1), Stuttgart (2-1), and Augsburg (3-1). I think they will add Hertha, who is a weaker team, to that list. Streich's team was eliminated from the Europa League, so they need to focus all their energy on the domestic championship.

Hertha have been fighting to survive in the Bundesliga in recent years. Currently, the team is in the relegation playoff zone, in third-to-last place in the table. Schalke, who are in the relegation zone, have the same number of points. While Hertha has been getting positive results in their recent home games, they have been performing poorly away from home. They have not won a single point in their last eight away games and have lost all of them, with a combined score of 7-23. In the new year, Hertha has lost away games to opponents such as Hoffenheim, Bayer, Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht, and Bochum.
As a contender for medals and a place in the Champions League zone, Freiburg cannot afford to lose points against a team that is in the bottom three of the league table. I am taking the simple bet of Home Win (P1). The current Freiburg team is clearly better than Hertha. The factor of playing at home makes Streich's team even more obvious favorites. They have won 8 out of 12 home games in the current championship season. Hertha, on the other hand, has lost 10 out of 12 away games in the Bundesliga. The last meeting between these two teams in Freiburg ended in a humiliating 0-3 defeat for the visitors from the capital. Perhaps we should not expect a big win for the hosts this time, but they are obligated to take the three points.
Prediction for the match: Freiburg to win.
