Freiburg vs Augsburg Prediction and Betting Tips

Freiburg host Augsburg at the Europa-Park-Stadion on Sunday (October 1) in the Bundesliga.

The hosts enjoyed a strong start to their season but have dropped off the pace in recent weeks. Freiburg drew goalless with Eintracht Frankfurt in their last outing, managing just one shot on target. Freiburg are ninth in the standings with seven points from five games.

Augsburg, meanwhile, have endured a sluggish start to their season but returned to winning ways last weekend. They registered a 2-1 comeback win over Mainz, with captain Ermedin Demirovic scoring twice in the first half to overturn an early deficit. The visitors are 12th in the standings with five points from as many games.
