Head-to-head statistics Monchengladbach - Freiburg

Borussia M'gladbach Team Overview
⚫ Gladbach are pushing for a spot in European competitions, but like other top-table teams, they remain highly inconsistent. In 2025, they've only managed to win two out of six home matches. In their previous away game against St. Pauli, the Foals barely held on for a draw, conceding 26 shots and 11 corners from the underdog. It was an unprecedented level of pressure in a clash between the 6th and 15th place teams. Seoane is in his second season in charge, yet stability eludes them.
🔝 With their two main goalkeepers absent, their stand-in Thiago Pereira Cardoso saved 8 out of 9 shots on target in the last match. He deservedly earned the Man of the Match title and was named in the Team of the Week.
❌ Both primary goalkeepers-Jonas Omlin (the team captain) and Moritz Nicolas-are injured. Right winger Ngumu and central midfielder Zander will also miss the match.
Match Results: Borussia M'gladbach

Freiburg Team Overview
⚫ Freiburg currently sit seventh, striving to break into the European competition spots. The team has been inconsistent. After stringing together four consecutive clean-sheet victories, they've now gone five matches without a win. However, when you consider who they previously defeated, it all makes sense. The "Brazilians of Breisgau" secured wins against weaker sides like Bochum, Heidenheim, St. Pauli, and Werder, but have dropped points against stronger opponents.
🔝 Despite a heavy 4-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the last round, Freiburg's right winger Ritsu Doan was named in the team of the week. The Japanese international has already tallied 8 goals and 7 assists in the current Bundesliga campaign, marking the best season of his career.
❌ First-choice goalkeeper Noah Atubolu is sidelined with an injury. Additionally, key central defender Matthias Ginter will miss the game due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Considering the current form of both teams and their head-to-head statistics, a tightly contested match with few chances on goal for either side is likely. Our main bet is on Freiburg's individual total of under 1.5 goals. The "Brazilians of Breisgau" have scored no more than one goal in their last 11 out of 12 Bundesliga away matches.
