Borussia is better on the table, but it is not the difference that was expected, given the individual quality of these two teams and the seven points more for the hosts meant only one, Borussia has failed completely. The second part of the season started modestly after elimination from the Cup at the end of the first half, and they were defeated twice, while Freiburg was also eliminated in the round of sixteen of the Cup finals, but in the second part of the season they made only one win. In the first part of the season duel of these rivals ended without any goals and it was the first match of the season in which Borussia did not win.

Borussia Dortmund

The continuation of the season for Borussia did not bring the expected rise and better games than in the first part, at least judging by the first two rounds after the break. Both duels ended unsuccessfully and they had to celebrate at least in one duel and that is the one at home against Wolfsburg when they could not even score a goal. When they played against Hertha in Berlin in the last round they scored a goal but only after they received one first, so the match ended with 1-1.

Borussia’s problems are not solely attached by what they are doing on their field, because the great pressure was created by the departure of the first shooter Aubameyang, who did not even play in the first two matches of the second part. They still have major problems with injuries, so coach Stoger does not have a wide choice of players he can count on. After Wolfsburg he gave the chance to Pulisic and Schurrle, and now Yarmolenko could return.

Probable lineups Borussia Dortmund: Burki – Piszczek, Sokratis, Toprak, Toljan – Weigl, M.Gotze, Kagawa – C.Pulisic, Yarmolenko, Sancho

SC Freiburg

The only goal of Freiburg this season is to survive and considering how they played the finals of the first part of the championship as well as the first two rounds of the second part, there should be no problems to achieve that goal. They have suffered a defeat in the Cup by Werder, but they quickly forgot about it, given that they in the championship have a series of seven games without defeat in the championship. Their effect is four wins and three defeats, but in the last round they defeated Leipzig. This is a particularly valuable victory since they have received a goal halfway through the second half-time and it seemed they would lose, and in the last 20 minutes they played great and with two goals they turned the game in their favour.

Round before that, they were losing in Frankfurt and came to a draw, and in both cases they had two heroes. R.Koch was the shooter in both duels, while C.Gunter entered three assists. Coach Streich has made some changes in the team, and now he cannot count on the first goalkeeper Schwolow, so Gikiewicz will be among the goalposts. In the winter break, they have brought striker Holer from Sandersen, who has managed to enter the starting lineup.

Probable lineups SC Freiburg: Gikiewicz – Soyuncu, Gulde, Kempf – P.Stenzel, R.Koch, C.Gunter – Abrashi – Holer, Haberer – Petersen

Verdict:

It is about time for Borussia to return to the wins and this is a good opportunity, because they traditionally play good against Freiburg and they are the hosts. Freiburg has already done more than what they expected and they are playing weaker as guests, so we predict a defeat.
