Augsburg and Freiburg are closely positioned in the league table and it will be a battle between two contrasting styles when they lock horns at Schwarzwald-Stadion on Saturday evening.
Freiburg were defeated 2-1 by an unbeaten Hoffenheim last weekend which was their fourth straight defeat in as many away games this season. It is a different story when they line-up before the home at their own backyard. They are unbeaten in 3 games at Schwarzwald-Stadion this season with a 100% win record.
Augsburg on the other hand held a struggling Schalke to a 1-1 draw at home. They were defeated 2-1 by a high flying RB Leipzig in the previous week and are currently on a two match win-less run. They managed only 2 wins from their 7 matches this season, with one win each coming at home and away.

Freiburg vs Augsburg: Prediction
Both teams have plenty of injury concerns ahead of the game there are at least 6 players on each side who could miss out on the weekend fixture. But the recent home form certainly favours Freiburg in this game. Also, if you go down the memory lane, Augsburg have scored just 4 goals in their 7 away matches in a league at Freiburg. And all the four goals have come in one match, which remain to be their only win during the period.
As a result, Freiburg can be backed with confidence to win this fixture without much trouble.
