Borussia Monchengladbach vs SC Freiburg Best odds and tips

Borussia Monchengladbach will look to end their three-game losing streak to SC Freiburg when they face off in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The Foals are currently sixth in the Bundesliga 2024-2025 standings with 44 points from 28 games, just two ahead of Freiburg in seventh. Freiburg have been in poor form of late, losing three straight games and failing to win in their last five, but their 1-4 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund was a step up in class from the previous two.

Gladbach are a much more positive team than the pragmatic Freiburg, who are adept at keeping it tight and counter-attacking. Gerardo Seoane has shaped his side into a fluid attacking unit and they have some real goal power in Tim Kleindienst, who has hit 15 Bundesliga goals this season. Ritsu Doan leads the way for Freiburg with 8 Bundesliga goals and can be a big threat, but Borussia Monchengladbach have the more reliable goalscorer in Alassane Plea, who has five in his last five. Backing over 2.5 goals could be a play here given Borussia Monchengladbach have scored 1.71 goals per game at home while conceding 1.36.

Freiburg have won four, drawn four and lost six of their 14 Bundesliga away games this season, scoring 12 goals. Borussia Monchengladbach are slight favourites to win at 2.25 and home advantage could make all the difference in what should be a tight encounter between two teams with contrasting styles. The last head-to-head meeting finished 3-1 to Freiburg, but Borussia Monchengladbach’s superior form makes them the more likely winner this time around.
