It has been an inconsistent start to the season for Borussia Dortmund, as their recent across the opening ten matches have almost certainly ended their dreams of a Bundesliga title push.
Nuri Sahin’s side come into this round after losing three of their last five, which includes defeats in two of their previous three. Only a win will see them leapfrog their opponents this weekend.
It has been a pleasing start to the season for Freiburg, as they sit fifth in the standings. However, their form before the international break would be a concern after failing to win in three.
Odds
Borussia Dortmund will be well found in the betting this weekend, as they are priced up as the -153 favorite on the moneyline. A victory for the visitors at +403 can’t be discounted.
| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Borussia Dortmund | -153 |

Borussia Dortmund vs. Freiburg Prediction
Dortmund have been slightly too inconsistent this season to fancy as an odds-on chance this weekend.
Freiburg’s form dipped before the international break, but they have still been pretty testing to overcome in the German top-flight this term. Therefore, a chance could be taken on the visitors on the spread this Saturday.
