Bottom side Bochum will be looking to keep alive their hopes of extending their stay in the Bundesliga when they welcome Freiburg to the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Saturday.
Bochum have been in the Bundesliga for four consecutive seasons since their promotion in 2020/21. Die Unabsteigbaren narrowly escaped relegation last season by beating Düsseldorf in the play-off final after finishing 16th, but they are currently not far away from automatic relegation. Still, Dieter Hecking's side will take heart ahead of the visit of Freiburg this weekend from the fact that nine of their ten points this season came at home.
Freiburg, meanwhile, go into Saturday's game on the back of three consecutive Bundesliga defeats. Die Unabsteigbaren also conceded a total of ten goals in that time, but are still well clear of the bottom three. But having lost their last two away games by a combined score of 9-2, don't be surprised if Julian Schuster's men suffer another defeat against relegation favourites this weekend.
Bochum vs Freiburg Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Both sides are struggling defensively at the moment with the hosts shipping six goals in their last two games alone, while Freiburg are without a clean sheet in their last ten games across all competitions.
The visitors conceded at least two goals in each of the last six outings and just one of those encounters produced less than four goals.
Another reasons we're expecting goals is the fact that recent meetings between Bochum and Freiburg were pretty entertaining, with each of the last three encounters producing exactly 3 goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Bochum vs Freiburg prediction: 2-1

Bochum team news
Ivan Ordets missed the humiliating 3-0 defeat to Mönchengladbach last weekend due to a back problem, but the centre back in the hosts’ only injury concern.
