Freiburg vs Schalke: Preview and Predictions

Freiburg vs Schalke
German Bundesliga
Date: Sunday, 7th April 2017
Kick-off at 14:30 UK/ 15:30 CET
Venue: Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen).

Freiburg will hoist Schalke 04 in the last game of the Matchday No 32 in Bundesliga this Sunday at Schwarzwald-Stadion.

Die Konigsblauen will come in the game in a much better mood after a demolishing 1-4 win over Bayer Leverkusen last weekend.

Freiburg

The atmosphere is completely different in Freiburg’s dressing room. The team suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to the rock-bottomed and the already relegated Darmstadt 98 side last Saturday.

Christian Streich’s men have been much better on the home patch where they have two wins on the bounce (over Mainz 05 and Bayer Leverkusen).

Schalke 04

The visitors have had a rollercoaster season full of ups and downs. However, we must notice that thy significantly raised their game since the rematch with Ajax in Europa League quarterfinals.

Markus Weinzierl’s side played a 1-1 draw with the second-placed RB Leipzig and demolished Bayer 1-4 since.

Guido Burgstaller has been red-hot as he took his league tally to eight goals (he only played in the second part of the season) with a brace from BayArena.

Freiburg vs Schalke 04: Head to head

Schalke 04 lead the head to head tie by two wins, but they did not come out on top in last three meetings with Freiburg.

Each of the last two encounters ended with no winner, including the 1-1 draw from mid-December last year.

Freiburg vs Schalke 04: Prediction

It’s hard to judge the value of the 23/20 odds offered on the away win here. Schalke are in a better shape without doubts, but Freiburg also have consecutive wins at Schwarzwald.

Anyhow, we do expect a high-scoring affair since both teams tend to concede goals with ease.
