THE PREDICTION
Freiburg, under the management of Christian Streich, come into this one on the back of a goalless draw at home to Union Berlin in their most recent outing, last weekend. The hosts are still punching above their weight as they continue to challenge for a top seven finish and European qualification. They now face a Hoffenheim side that begin the match day sitting a point and a place below Freiburg in the Bundesliga table. Freiburg have remained steady but low-scoring with just 21 goals in 17 matches, whilst Hoffenheim are underperforming so a fairly dull encounter is to be expected on Saturday afternoon.
TIP: UNDER 3.5 GOALS
