In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (76′-90 ‘); He suffered 5 of his 12 goals between the minutes (46’-60 ‘).

Fortuna Düsseldorf is making a disastrous campaign in the Bundesliga, won only 1 of its last 11 games and is looking for a recovery to try to leave the last position of the table of the competition. The team presents serious problems, both in the offensive and defensive sector, as it scored only 14 goals, being the third worst attack of the competition, and suffered 32, having the second worst defense, being a team that few opportunities can create and still leaves many spaces in his defense, so much so that in the last two rounds he suffered 4 goals and did not score any. At home, as in this Saturday’s game, Fortuna Düsseldorf has the second worst season of the championship, lost 4 of its last 5 games and in those 4 games scored only 1 goal and suffered 8, showing again its offensive and defensive problems, not getting good performances, even acting in front of their fans. For the clash with Freiburg, coach Funkel must maintain the same alignment as on the last day, as his injured players will not recover in time to be on the field.

Freiburg:

The away team is currently in the 12 th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 4 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Borussia Dortmund, by (2-0). In the last match, they won in a home match against RB Leipzig, by (3-0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 20 suffered. For the league, Freiburg won 5 points out of 18 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 6 matches as a visitor.

For this competition, they have not won any of the last 4 away matches. The team has conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, so it has not presented great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their away matches, since 40 of the last 45 matches they have played have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 14 matches in this competition, he never got the comeback in the 6 games in which he suffered the first goal.

The Freiburg is making an unsatisfactory campaign in the German Championship, but finished a series of 4 matches without winning with a good victory in the last day and goes in search of another 3 points to try to leave the relegation zone and fight in the middle top of the table. The team presents an unsatisfactory performance, both offensive and defensive, as it scored 19 goals, being the seventh worst attack among the 18 Bundesliga participants, and suffered 22, having the eighth weakest defense, even if it comes from a great performance against to the strong RB Leipzig, in which both the defense and the attack worked with mastery. As a visitor, as in this Saturday’s game, Freiburg comes from 2 losses and 2 draws and suffered goals in all these games, but scored in 3 of them, since he has acted a bit more offensive as a visitor, but for account of this ends up leaving more spaces in his defense. For the match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, coach Streich has no problems in the team that has been playing in recent days and must go to the field with the same lineup as the last matches.
