Some very one-sided games recently between these 2 sides. Leipzig has been the much better team recently having not lost in the last 5 meetings winning 4 and only drawing a single match. They will be going into this game with the mental advantage along with the confidence as they look to add yet another win to their record. Having scored 11 goals in the last 5 matches, they are very likely to add some more goals to their tally.

Freiburg has been on the end of some heavy defeats in the last 5 games having conceded 3 or more in 3 out of the 5 meetings. The main issue they have faced is scoring as they have only scored 3 goals and never scored more than a single goal in these matches. Going into this game their confidence will be low as they have conceded 6 goals in the last 2 visits to Leipzig’s stadium.

Some up and down form recently for Leipzig especially in the last 2 matches where they have struggled to score and seen 6 goals scored against them. This would have damaged their confidence a lot as they faced a team that sits in the place above them who beat the easily along with a team that sits 4 spots below them and beat them easily. They have struggled to find a consistent goal scoring form as while they have scored 11 goals in the last 5 matches, 9 of them came from 2 matches. If they want to win this game and push forward in the future, they will need to sort this out and make sure they can find a consistent way of scoring. They have also faced defensive difficulties in the last 2 matches going from only conceding 1 goal in the first 3 matches to 7 when adding in the last 2, they need to focus on finding their defensive form again before anything.

Last 5 Freiburg Matches: Freiburg 2-0 Darmstadt (H) DFB Pokal FC Heidenheim 2-1 Freiburg (A) Bundesliga Freiburg 1-0 Salzburg (H) Europa League Freiburg 1-1 Dortmund (H) Bundesliga Wolfsburg 3-4 Freiburg (A) Bundesliga

Some strong form for a team that is looking to push for Europa places, however, there is one worrying sign. That is their poor away form. 2 away matches in the last 5 matches one was a loss to 17th place, and the other was a high scoring match to 14th place. These signs should cause some worrying factors as they look to face one of the stronger sides away from home conceding 6 goals to 2 teams who’s point tallies added together don’t match the team you are playing isn’t a thing you want to have when going into this match. They will need to fix their away form if they want any chances of winning this and pushing for those top 6 spots.

Key Players to Watch: RB Leipzig vs Freiburg

Christoph Baumgartner (RB Leipzig): What a season the midfielder is having with 12 goal contributions in 15 matches so far this season. He has provided 6 goals and 6 assists matching his current xG. He has become one of their most important players when going forward as he will either finish a move off with a shot or turn a pass into a chance created. With 22 chances created and 35 shots this season, he isn’t scared to try and make something happen, and if he does in this match, expect him to get something from one of them. He will be a key factor to Leipzig winning this game.

Johan Manzambi (Freiburg): The 20-year-old winger has had a very strong season as a first team regular with 3 goals and 2 assists. However, it’s his fearlessness that has been the most important thing about him this season, with 19 dribbles completed, being one of the most in the league, he isn’t scared to run at opposition players and with winning 39 fouls, can often make something happen when he does run at you. He will be the man looking to drive the ball forward for Freiburg and draw a foul and freekick in a dangerous area for them.
