Freiburg have been saving their money this summer and have spent only 10 millions euro signing Luca Waldschmidt, Mark Flekken, Jerome Gondorf, Philipp Lienhart and Dominique Heintz. In the 1/32-Finals fixture of the DFB Pokal the team struggled to beat Energie Cottbus with a 3-2 score. In the first tour of the Bundesliga they lost to Eintracht Frankfurt with a 0-2 score in front of their home crowd. It`s worth noting that the team of Christian Streich has been showing horrible performances on the away fields lately, they have won none of their away matches since December 10th, 2017 (six draws and six losses).
Considering Freiburg failed in the first tour and their bad away matches statistics it is likely that Hoffenheim will get the victory in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Hoffenheim to win.
