SC Freiburg vs Cologne Predictions

Home form can continue for Freiburg

Freiburg have been winners in three of their last four home games and they are the best bet to beat Cologne on Sunday.

This is a mid-table clash, with Freiburg two places above Cologne in the table, but just four points separating the two sides. The hosts are eighth with six wins, six draws and six defeats, while tenth-placed Cologne have won five, drawn five and lost eight.

The hosts have the edge defensively. Freiburg haven’t shipped a goal in four of the last five Bundesliga meetings with Cologne.

Freiburg have put together a decent run of results and have gone seven home games unbeaten in the Bundesliga. They have only lost one of their last nine at home to Cologne.

Goals have proved easy to come by for Freiburg lately. They have scored at least twice in three of their last four Bundesliga games and have averaged 2.25 goals a game in their four home matches against bottom-half teams this season.

Cologne have been struggling for results lately, failing to win eight of their last nine Bundesliga games. They have not tasted victory in any of their last five away games.

The visitors have looked vulnerable in defence. Cologne have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 Bundesliga games and have conceded on each of their last five road trips.

Freiburg may be able to edge out Cologne in a high-scoring game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Cologne’s last three Bundesliga matches and seven of Freiburg’s last nine have ended with three or more goals.
