Match Predictions

Probably without two of our best players — Schlotterbeck & Guirassy — this will be a tough match to win. The momentum is on Dortmund’s side, and their performance last week gives me confidence going into this game. Recent history does not favor Freiburg, as they have lost six straight matchups since 2021. 

A makeshift backline will probably lead to some shakiness at the back. That being said, the front three of Brandt, Adeyemi, and Beier worked well last week and will hopefully continue. I am taking an optimistic look at the match tomorrow and predicting a 2-1 away win for BVB if Emre Can starts. If he is not fit for the match, a 2-2 draw may be a more plausible outcome.
