Freiburg vs. Bochum Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Freiburg and Bochum, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at Europa-Park Stadion in Freiburg.
Freiburg, Recent Form
There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Freiburg players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich. They achieved 33% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Bayern Munich's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Julian Schuster will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Playing at home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 10 games.
It's been a disappointing spell of home league form lately, having managed to rack up just 1 victory and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches.
Goalscorer Lukas Kübler will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Freiburg.
Bochum, Recent Form
Bochum will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against Borussia Monchengladbach, given the latter currently sit 11 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they recorded 39 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 15 shots on goal.
Manager Peter Zeidler will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 17 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 8 goals they managed at the other end. They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 18 games.
Bochum will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
On an individual basis, Maximilian Wittek will be looking to cause Freiburg some problems having scored 2 goals in Bochum's last 6 away games in the league.
Freiburg vs. Bochum Head to head
It was not a positive ending for Bochum last time they met Freiburg in the league, with the game ending in a 1-2 defeat.
Freiburg will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Die Blauen having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 6 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, Breisgau-Brasilianer's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Bochum will have to take their chances when they come.
Freiburg will be looking to continue their winning streak against Bochum, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
