Schalke vs SC Freiburg Predictions

• Schalke have seen both teams score in 10 of their last 13 Bundesliga games. 
• Freiburg failed to score in just two of their 16 Bundesliga fixtures. 
• Schalke have lost just one of their last eight Bundesliga games, winning four. 
• Freiburg have won just one of their last five Bundesliga games, losing three. 

Schalke have been tough to beat this season. 

Fifth-placed Schalke are set to host sixth-placed Freiburg this Saturday in a clash between two teams who will be hoping to keep themselves in the running for a Champions League place heading into the second half of the season. Schalke are currently just one point outside of the top four. 

Schalke have been one of the toughest teams to beat in the Bundesliga this season. They have lost just three of their 16 games thus far this season. Only RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund have lost fewer games than Schalke this season. 

Schalke have also been enjoying an impressive run of form in recent weeks. They have lost just one of their last eight Bundesliga fixtures, winning four. Furthermore, Schalke have been in impressive form at home this season. They are undefeated in their last seven Bundesliga home games, winning four. 

Freiburg’s recent drop in form. 

Freiburg have been a surprise contender for the Bundesliga’s European qualification places throughout the start of the season. Their early season form has put them in a favourable position going into the Bundesliga’s winter break. 

However, Freiburg have endured a drop in form in recent weeks. Breisgau-Brasilianer have failed to win four of their last five Bundesliga fixtures. They have lost three of their last four Bundesliga games, including their most recent two. We feel that Freiburg’s recent drop in form could hurt them going into this Saturday’s clash with Schalke. 

Both teams are used to getting on the scoresheet. 

Both of these two teams have been consistent in getting on the scoresheet this season. Firstly, Freiburg have failed to score in just two of their 16 Bundesliga games this season. Meanwhile, Schalke have kept just two clean sheets in their last 13 Bundesliga games. We feel that Freiburg are likely to at least get on the scoresheet in this game. 

On the other hand, Schalke have scored at least one goal in each of their last seven Bundesliga fixtures, while Freiburg have kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 Bundesliga fixtures. 

Both of these teams are consistent at getting themselves on the scoresheet. We feel that this game is likely to be a closely contested fixture. Both teams are likely to aim for all three points in what will be an important upper-table fixture. We are backing both teams to score in this game. 

Judging by recent form, we feel that Schalke are likely to earn all three points from this game. Freiburg’s recent form has been poor enough to see them drop to 12th place in the Bundesliga’s form table for the past six games. We feel that a hard-fought 2-1 win for Schalke is a likely result of this game.
