Key Players to Watch

Borussia Dortmund's campaign has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but certain individuals have stood out with their performances. One such talent is Youssoufa Moukoko, whose agility and knack for finding the back of the net have been crucial. With a rating of 6.51, his precision in front of goal may just tip the scales in Dortmund's favor.

Not to be overlooked, Jamie Jermaine Bynoe-Gittens has proven himself as a dynamic attacker. With a rating of 6.83, his ability to create chances and his impressive tally of 7 shots on target this season will be pivotal against Freiburg's defense.

The experience of Mats Julian Hummels in the heart of Dortmund's defense cannot be understated. His rating of 6.95 reflects his defensive solidity and his unexpected offensive contributions, with 2 goals to his name from the backline.

On the other side, SC Freiburg relies on the likes of Merlin Röhl, a midfielder with a rating of 6.78 who brings creativity and a threat from distance with 7 shots on target this season. His contribution in the midfield battle will be essential for Freiburg's attempts to control the game.

Another key figure for the visitors is Noah Raphael Weißhaupt, whose vision and passing accuracy have earned him a rating of 6.78. With 1 goal and 1 assist, his link-up play could be a thorn in Dortmund's side.

Lastly, the industrious Ritsu Doan has been a consistent performer for Freiburg, with a rating of 6.85 and a total of 8 shots on target. His work rate and ability to find space in tight areas make him a player Dortmund must mark closely.

Recent Form

Borussia Dortmund's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last five games showing a pattern of WWDDL. Currently sitting at 5th in the league with 33 points, they are in a fierce battle for European qualification spots.

SC Freiburg, on the other hand, has shown resilience with a form line of WDLWW. Their current 7th place standing, with 28 points, underscores a competitive spirit that could pose a challenge to Dortmund's ambitions.

Head-to-Head History

In their last three encounters, Dortmund has been the dominant force, with victories of 4-2 on September 16, 2023, a commanding 5-1 win on February 4, 2023, and a 3-1 triumph on August 12, 2022. These results suggest a psychological edge for the home side, which they will look to exploit once again.

Taking into account the current form of both teams, the key players likely to make an impact, and the historical precedence, the prediction leans towards a Borussia Dortmund win or a draw. The statistical analysis favors the home side with a total percent home of 68.8% against Freiburg's 31.2%. The poisson distribution also tips in favor of Dortmund, with a 67% chance of victory against Freiburg's 33%.
