RB Leipzig vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 26th 2024

RB Leipzig return to action in the German Bundesliga when they play host to Freiburg at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Julian Schuster’s men claiming a comfortable home victory over Augsburg.

RB Leipzig were condemned to a third straight defeat in the UEFA Champions League as they were beaten 1-0 by English Premier League side Liverpool on Wednesday.

Marco Rose’s side now turn their focus to the Bundesliga, where they have enjoyed a contrasting start to the season, claiming five wins and two draws from their opening seven matches.

Leipzig are one of just two teams yet to suffer defeat in the league this season and this has been due to the solid job done at the back, where they have conceded just two goals so far — two fewer than any other side in the division.

Elsewhere, Freiburg continued their surge to the top of the Bundesliga table as they secured a 3-1 victory over Augsburg at the Europa-Park Stadion last weekend.

Schuster’s men have picked up five wins from their opening seven games to start the new league campaign, only losing against Bayern Munich and St. Pauli so far.

With 15 points from the first 21 available, Freiburg are currently third in the Bundesliga table, two points behind Saturday’s hosts who sit level with first-placed Bayern.
