Freiburg vs Augsburg Prediction and Betting Tips | 28th January 2023

Freiburg host Augsburg at the Stade Europa-Park in the Bundesliga on Saturday, looking to return to winning ways for the first time in three games.

After thrashing Union Berlin 4-1 in November in their final top-flight match before the winter break, the Breisgau-Brasilianer have started the new year on a poor note.

Christian Streich's side were beaten 6-0 by Wolfsburg in their first game back from the hiatus before a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.

With 31 points in 17 games, Freiburg are languishing in sixth position in the table, eight places above Augsburg, who are hovering dangerously above the relegation zone.

The Fuggerstädter have only 18 points from as many games and remain just two points clear of the bottom three, although things were worse just a week ago.

Enrico Maaßen's side picked up a surprise 1-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach this week, courtesy of an 82nd-minute strike from Mergim Berisha.

It was their first league win in nine matches and propelled the side up from 16th to 14th place to put some daylight between them and the relegation zone.
