SC Freiburg vs Schalke Predictions

• Freiburg have won each of the last four Bundesliga H2Hs without reply.
• SC Freiburg have played three Bundesliga games in a row with fewer than three goals.
• Schalke have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two Bundesliga away games.

History beckons for Freiburg

Freiburg kept the dream of a maiden Champions League appearance alive with a comeback win over Bremen in the last round and with just six rounds remaining, Christian Streich’s men will believe they have what it takes to close the slender gap to the top-four to become history makers!

In fact, the only two sides to defeat Freiburg across the last 12 Bundesliga rounds were Bayern Munich and Dortmund, the current top-two. As such, a game against relegation-threatened Schalke shouldn’t faze the hosts too much.

Home improvement is needed though, with just one win across Freiburg’s last five competitive home games perhaps hampering them. However, they are enjoying a run of four straight victories to nil against Schalke and a six-game winning run of league games against newly-promoted sides, an ongoing club record!

Schalke may battle in vain

Whilst Schalke have made great strides in recent weeks, especially in their 5-2 win last time out, they remain in the bottom-three with no immediate relief in sight. Away form has been a big issue for Schalke this term and with four of their remaining six games coming on the road, it could be a long end to a disappointing campaign.

We’re backing Freiburg to win this one with confidence. The hosts have enjoyed an incredible campaign and are on the precipice of club history. For smaller stakes, we’re going for a continuation of Freiburg’s H2H dominance with a 2-0 win selection in the correct score market!
