Freiburg will seek to end a run of four Bundesliga matches without a win when they host Borussia Dortmund at the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday.
The hosts are in the mix to claim a Champions League place with a top four finish. But to have any chance of achieving that, Freiburg will need to get back to winning ways against BVB in their Matchday 28 showdown.

Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund predictions
Freiburg sit seventh in the Bundesliga table with 42 points from 27 matches. They have won 12, drawn six and lost nine.
The team have been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride since the turn of the year. A 3-2 win over Holstein Kiel in the first match back after the winter break was followed by four successive defeats.
Head coach Julian Schuster’s team then rallied, winning their next four, in a run that saw them break into the Bundesliga top four.
Things have been a struggle for Freiburg since then. Three draws followed, and in their most recent outing on Sunday, they ended that sequence of stalemates by losing 2-1 at home to Union Berlin.
Lucas Holer put Frieburg ahead after 29 minutes. But it was a short-lived lead, with Rani Khedira levelling just one minute later.
Andrej Ilic scored the winner after 48 minutes, condemning Freiburg to their ninth defeat of the season.
If recent history repeats itself, we know what is coming next for Schuster’s team.
Borussia Dortmund sits 10th in the Bundesliga with 38 points from 27 matches. Niko Kovac’s team have won 11, drawn five and lost 11. As their record shows, BVB have been very inconsistent.
A recent Bundesliga two-match losing streak was brought to an end last Saturday with a magnificent 3-1 home win over Mainz.
Two goals from Maximilian Beier and one from Emre Can gave Kovac his best Bundesliga win since he took charge of the club at the beginning of February.
The trick for Kovac is to back the win up with another three points this Saturday.
Making life more difficult for the Croatian is BVB’s upcoming Champions League tie with Barcelona. The first leg of the quarter-final takes place in Spain on Wednesday.
The match is likely to have an influence on Kovac’s team selection against Freiburg.
Freiburg vs Dortmund betting tips
Dortmund need a strong finish if they are to get into Europe next season. The Champions League looks gone, but they could still claim a spot in one of the minor competitions if they can string a run of results together. Our match betting tips are below.
Dortmund to win
Dortmund have reminded me a bit of Manchester United this season. They do something good, and then follow it up with something unbelievably bad.
Therefore, the temptation was to go with a win for Freiburg after Dortmund’s great result against high-flying Mainz last weekend.

But no, we’re siding with the underachievers to back up their win with another three points at Freiburg.
Furthermore, the hosts are four without a win in the Bundesliga.
Frieburg did snap its three-match drawing run last weekend, but it was with a defeat. Things seem to be getting worse for Julian Schuster’s team, not better.

Dortmund to score over 1.5 goals
When Dortmund win, they tend to win well. The Black and Yellow have won three of their last five in the Bundesliga. In all three of the victories, they have scored a minimum of two goals.
Dortmund doesn’t have a problem scoring goals in the Bundesliga. They have 48 in their 27 matches. Their problem seems to be consistency and keeping goals out at the other end.
We say that if they do beat Freiburg, they will score at least two.

Maximilian Beier to score or assist
Maximilian Beier doesn’t get too many headlines for Dortmund. The German international usually plays second fiddle to top-scorer Serhou Guirassy.
Beier has been in good form lately. Including his brace against Mainz, he has scored three goals and provided two assists in Dortmund’s last five matches.
The 22-year-old is 11/4 to find the net again when Dortmund play Freiburg. That is a very tempting bet.
But with assists in Beier’s locker, and the possibility of Guirassy returning to the starting line up, we will use our safety net and back Beier to score or assist.
