Competition: Bundesliga
Market: Freiburg win
Odds: 4/6 @ BetUS
Two sides who already find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Bundesliga standings, Freiburg will welcome St. Pauli to the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Freiburg might have only just about limped their way to a top-half finish last season, Julian Schuster’s squad have continued on a real purple patch since opening up the new campaign. Putting in what was a sensational performance last weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp away at a high-flying Heidenheim, the Reds have collected nine points from their first four Bundesliga appearances and have their sights firmly set on securing a lucrative European return this year. Marking their return from September’s international break with a 2-1 win at home against Bochum, Freiburg should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Opening up the new campaign with an early statement of intent as they clinched an impressive 3-1 victory against Stuttgart, Schuster’s side should be smelling another golden opportunity when they return to the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday afternoon.
As for the visitors, while St. Pauli might have secured an iconic Bundesliga return for this season, the Hamburg-based outfit appear to have a real battle on their hands this time around. While Alexander Blessin’s men might have snatched a 0-0 stalemate at home against RB Leipzig last weekend, that is the only point that Saturday’s guests have put on the board from their first four top-flight appearances. Marking their return from September’s international break with a 3-1 drumming at the hands of Augsburg, the Kickers find themselves sat in the drop zone and pencilled in as a leading relegation contender this season. Getting proceedings underway on August 25th with a 2-0 defeat at home against Heidenheim, St. Pauli should be bracing themselves for another heavyweight challenge this weekend. Two sides who are already battling it out at opposite ends of the Bundesliga table, we are backing a home win here.
