Freiburg vs FC Koln – The 13th round of the Bundesliga will be concluded on Sunday afternoon at Europa-Park Stadion with a match between Freiburg and FC Koln.
After winning 0-2 at Schalke 04 last weekend, the hosts climbed to third position in the Bundesliga standings. They are now only one point behind Bayern Munich in second place and just two points behind league-leading Union Berlin.
Freiburg places a lot of emphasis on their tenacious defensive line. In five Bundesliga matches played at Europa-Park Stadion this season, the squad only allowed four goals.
The previous two rounds’ games against Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 saw Christian Streich’s team keep consecutive clean sheets.
In the victory over Schalke last Saturday, Vincenzo Grifo stood out by scoring a brace. The Italian offensive midfielder will have a good opportunity to play against FC Koln and maintain his current form.
We must admit, though, that the Billy Goats’ recent defensive performances have also improved. Seven days earlier, FC Koln held Hoffenheim to just 9 attempts in a 1-1 tie at RheinEnergieStadion.
In addition, FC Koln did give up five goals in each of its last two away games against Mainz and Borussia Monchengladbach.
Freiburg vs FC Koln – Betting Analysis
In the past three head-to-head matches, the teams have each recorded a victory, a draw, and a loss.
In their previous 20 head-to-head meetings at home against FC Koln, Freiburg had won 12, tied 5, and lost just three games.
In none of these teams’ two head-to-head matches from the previous two seasons, three or more goals were scored. Freiburg has a wonderful chance to keep up their hot streak and secure another victory at home against FC Koln, who have struggled on the road recently.
We appreciate the 3.25 odds offered for Freiburg to win by a score of zero, and Vincenzo Grifo’s value at 5.00 chances to score anytime for the hosts is also excellent.
