FC Augsburg vs SC Freiburg Prediction: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals

Spurred on by their thrilling Europa Conference League victory over Lens on Thursday, Freiburg will travel to the WWK Arena for their Bundesliga matchup against Augsburg on Sunday. In the league standings, the hosts start matchday 23 in 14th place, while Freiburg is in ninth place going into the weekend.

Following a 1-0 loss to Mainz on Saturday, Augsburg is still struggling at the bottom of the standings. Since defeating Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 on January 21, Jess Thorup's team has lost twice in four games without a victory. Augsburg is seven points ahead of the relegation playoff berth in the Bundesliga with 23 points from 22 games.

Following a 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim in January, Augsburg has lost three of their last four games as they look to make their Bundesliga comeback. Augsburg will be eager to win and avoid relegation battle.

Augsburg's winless run to four games (Wins 0 Draws 2 Losses 2) was extended as they lost their most recent Bundesliga game, 1-0, against Mainz 05 at MEWA ARENA. This season, Augsburg has been unable to function without Ermedin Demirovic's impact. In 2023-2024, he leads the team with goals scored with 12, which ranks seventh in the league.

Augsburg has won three, drawn five, and lost three of its eleven Bundesliga games played at home this season. Since their home loss to Borussia Dortmund in December 2023, Der FCA has not won any of their previous four games (0 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses). In their away league games this season, Freiburg has three victories, one tie, and seven defeats. Ziel is to snap a three-game losing run on the road for Der Sport-Club. From December 2023 against Wolfsburg, they have not escaped loss on the road.

Having scored 29 points, Augsburg is in 14th, while Freiburg is in eighth position. Twelve games are remaining in the Conference League Qualifiers, and der Sport-Club is four points behind sixth-place Eintracht Frankfurt. With 10 points separating them from a tournament place is Der FCA.

Freiburg's current league winless run now stands at four (Wins 0 Draws 1 Loss 3) as they were forced to a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt at Europa-Park Stadion. Last ten Bundesliga games, Freiburg has not lost, with 7 wins, 3 draws, and 0 losses. Freiburg has recently overcome Augsburg. When these two clubs play each other since September 2018, Augsburg is hoping for their first league victory. With their current winning run, Sport-Club has outscored FCA 24-6.

In October, Freiburg defeated the clubs in their final Bundesliga match, winning 2-0 at Europa-Park Stadion.

Freiburg is quite confident going into the weekend, the excitement from their Europa League success still fresh in their minds. Expect a high-scoring game, though, since they have had trouble making an impression away from home this season.

The safe bet is BTTS or over 2.5 goals.
