Latest news
Freiburg
🔝 Vincenzo Grifo shares the top spot on Freiburg's all-time Bundesliga scorers list with Nils Petersen. The Italian's next goal will be his 70th, putting him at the pinnacle of the club's rankings.
🎙 Thoughts from the Italian forward ahead of the match: "We need to bring the same level of energy and power to make life difficult for Borussia. It's about denying them space. If we can do that, our chances of earning points will be high."
❌ Philipp Lienhart left the field during Thursday's Europa League match due to an injury, but Julian Schuster expects him to be available for Sunday. Joris Makengo is also ready to return after missing several games. Eren Dinkci, Max Rosenfelder, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh remain sidelined.
Borussia Dortmund
🎙 Niko Kovač ahead of Sunday's match: "We're expecting to face a team that's very dangerous on set pieces. We need to be extremely cautious. We aim to win the remaining two matches to close out the calendar year with victories."
❌ Dortmund still have concerns regarding the fitness of Aaron Anselmino, Marcel Sabitzer, and Waldemar Anton, but otherwise, their lineup is close to full strength for the match.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Felix Zwayer will officiate the game at Europa-Park. Over his last 10 matches, he has averaged 3.7 yellow cards. Freiburg are the most disciplined team in the league after 13 rounds, with just 16 cautions. Dortmund share the 14th spot with Eintracht and Heidenheim, each with 21 cautions. Our pick: total under 4.5 yellow cards. This bet has been successful in 7 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings and in 19 of Freiburg's last 20 matches.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Despite a nine-match unbeaten home run, Freiburg's defense remains vulnerable. We back the bet both teams to score (yes), which has come through in six head-to-head matches at Europa-Park and in 10 of Schuster's last 11 home games.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average corner count for the "Brazilians of Breisgau" is 4.7, while the "Black and Yellows" average 5.5. Based on statistics and trends from their encounters, we predict Freiburg's individual total under 5.5 corners. This bet has hit in 13 of the teams' last 15 Bundesliga matches.
Editorial Prediction
Considering Freiburg's shaky defense at home, Dortmund's impressive league form, and their head-to-head history, our editorial team predicts over 2.5 goals. This outcome has occurred in the last 10 meetings between these teams and in 8 out of the last 9 matches officiated by Felix Zwayer. The "Brazilians of Breisgau" have lost their last seven encounters with the "Black and Yellows," so it's no surprise if they fail to secure points again - our projected scoreline is a 2-1 victory for Borussia.
