THE PREDICTION
Bochum are one of three Bundesliga clubs still yet to record a victory this campaign and it’s hard to see that changing for them away at Freiburg, especially with their defensive record, currently the joint-worst in the division. Christian Streich’s side have been inconsistent across the season, but their only three defeats have come against teams currently in the top four such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. When assessing both squads, Freiburg are the stronger all-round unit in all positions and should prove too strong for the visitors over 90 minutes.
TIP: FREIBURG TO WIN
