Augsburg vs Freiburg Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 31 October 2026

Augsburg have been unable to find any consistency in the Bundesliga and have gone five matchdays without a win. After losing to Werder and Elversberg, they drew with Bayern and Union, having also shared the points with Bayer earlier in that run. Despite the difficult spell, they have continued to score regularly, netting 10 goals across those five matches - though that return has brought only three points. After seven matchdays, the club sit on nine points with a goal difference of 17:13.

The main problem is the balance between attack and defence. Augsburg have scored in every matchday but have conceded in six of their seven league matches, and in the last four they have let in 10 goals. The team are capable of creating chances and sustaining a high tempo, but their open style of play frequently leads to dangerous situations at their own end. As a result, even high-scoring matches do not always go in Augsburg's favour.

In the DFB-Pokal, Augsburg beat Energie Cottbus and Großaspach, scoring six goals across those two ties. Now they face Freiburg, who lost to Bayer and Bayern in their last two league matchdays but then beat Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal. The hosts have enough attacking potential to make this competitive, but to get a positive result they will need not only to create chances but also to defend their own goal more reliably.

Freiburg made a confident start to the Bundesliga season, winning their first three matches, including a heavy victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. Julian Schuster's side then faced tougher opposition in the following two rounds - Bayer and Bayern - losing both, though both games produced goals at both ends. In their most recent league fixture, they conceded twice before half-time and went on to lose 1-3. Despite that dip in form, the attack has remained productive: after seven rounds, Freiburg have scored 16 goals and collected 13 points.

The team favour an active style of play, looking to move the ball through the flanks and deliver it into the box regularly. That high intensity demands reliable cover in behind, as the spaces left when defenders push forward can be exploited. Staying compact between the lines and keeping the opposition's counter-attacks under control will be important factors in maintaining a consistent performance.

In the DFB-Pokal, Freiburg first thrashed Fortuna Düsseldorf away from home, then edged out Wolfsburg 3-2 in a tense match, scoring the winner in added time. They now travel to Augsburg, who have not won in five consecutive matches but continue to score regularly. The visitors have the tools to take advantage of the hosts' inconsistency, though to win they will need to combine their usual attacking activity with a more reliable defensive showing.
