Preview

Match preview

SC Paderborn 07 host SC Freiburg in the second round of the Bundesliga season, with both sides looking to build on their opening matchday results. Paderborn began their campaign with a solid defensive display, securing a 0-0 draw away at FSV Mainz 05. They now return home seeking their first league victory while managing absences including S. Michel, T. Gayret, and L. Eickel.

SC Freiburg arrive in exceptional attacking form following a dominant 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen on matchday one. Striker Y. Suzuki opened his account with a hat-trick of three goals, while I. Matanovic contributed a goal and an assist. Freiburg have won each of their last five matches across all competitions, scoring three or more goals in every contest.

SC Freiburg or Draw
76%
Confidence

SC Freiburg enter this clash on a five-match winning streak across all competitions, most recently dismantling Werder Bremen 4-1 behind three goals from Y. Suzuki. Paderborn kept a clean sheet in their 0-0 draw against FSV Mainz 05 but failed to register a goal of their own. Additionally, Freiburg have never lost away to Paderborn in their three recorded visits, claiming two victories and one draw. Backing Freiburg on the double chance accounts for Paderborn's defensive organization while heavily favoring the visitors' superior attacking form.
