Hoffenheim vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips | December 8th 2024

Hoffenheim will host Freiburg at the PreZero Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have endured a difficult run of results in recent matches and sit 12th in the league table with 12 points from 12 matches, just two points above Heidenheim in the relegation playoff spot.

They were beaten 2-0 by Mainz in their last league outing and failed to put out a noteworthy response as they headed to Wolfsburg during the week for their DFB Pokal last-16 clash which they lost 3-0 to continue their goalscoring woes.

Freiburg, meanwhile, have struggled for results in recent games but remain hopeful of securing continental football. They beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 last time out in the Bundesliga, with Ritsu Doan's second-half strike sandwiched between goals from Lucas Holer.

The visitors then suffered a deflating DFB Pokal exit earlier in the week after losing 3-1 to Arminia Bielefeld and will be desperate to put things right this weekend.
