Freiburg seems to have lost its momentum. A draw is too little. They have not played at the level expected of them in recent weeks. The chasers are getting closer slowly and if Freiburg does not win the next games it will be hard for them to keep place 5 or 6. They have to win their next two games. They should be able to do that against Hoffenheim. And a win against Mainz would be important to keep them at distance.
The match against Hoffenheim cannot be hard for them. If you take a look at Hoffenheim's recent matches they lost all the recent five games they had with bad results and showed bad performance also they are currently in 16th place in the league in the danger zone while Freiburg got a much better situation and beating Hoffenheim in this match cannot be hard for them. So I guess Freiburg is going to win this game unless something unexpected happens.
Hoffenheim is in very bad form right now. They cannot win any match for a long time. Consistently we see Hoffenheim's poor performances. Hoffenheim's striker performance has been very poor, scoring only 29 goals in 23 matches. And they lost all 14 matches. Hoffenheim is unlikely to win against Freiburg in such conditions. Freiburg is a strong team. And they want to qualify for the Champions League. If Freiburg can get full points against Hoffenheim today, they will move up to third place in the points table. I will bet Freiburg to win today.
It would be sad to see them get relegated into the 2. Bundesliga as they have always been fun to watch and the games they played have often been a guarantee for many chances and many goals. Even though they had the advantage of being backed by an investor, I still think they did an amazing job training new and young talents and turning them into highly-coveted players. They also haven't spent double digit salaries on single players. They had some reasonable policies in place and still played great.
I don't think it is over yet but they need a serious reset and get going as fast as they can. They can win games, but right now it seems as if they forgot how they should do it. Still some time left to fix the issues. It is all about results now.
