SC Freiburg vs Bochum Predictions

• Freiburg saw over 2.5 total goals in each of their last seven Bundesliga home games.
• Each of Bochum’s last six away league games produced over 2.5 total goals.
• Either side scored 3+ goals in three of the last five home H2H encounters.

Fantastic Freiburg can dominate Bochum

After recording a rare European finish last season and reaching the Europa League group stage, Freiburg have shown their intent with a similarly strong start this time around (W2, L1).

Christian Streich’s men only lost against Borussia Dortmund so far this term, which is understandable given that they’re expected to be bang in the title race for most of the season.

Streich is the longest serving manager working in the Bundesliga, he has faced Bochum five times in his almost 11 year reign at the club, he did lose the first three but bounced back to win the last two. The common theme? All but one of those games saw at least three match goals.

The visitors may remain rock-Bochum

With no points after the opening three rounds, Bochum prop up the rest of the Bundesliga table ahead of this tricky looking trip to last season’s DFB Pokal finalists.

The visitors have conceded at least three times in each of their last four top-flight away games, and that run began with a 3-0 defeat here in Freiburg! We predict a similarly dominant home performance tonight but feel that the value lies in the over 2.5 goals market.

As for the correct score, we’re going for a smaller stakes play on a 3-1 Freiburg win, one which will inflict yet further misery on Bochum and further their own European qualification ambitions.
