Stadium: St. Leonard Sports Center (Freiburg)
The main pool of the Bundesliga round 8 will feature Freiburg and Leipzig. Freiburg is sensationally located in the Champions League zone, one could say, they occupy Leipzig's place. Even a win on Saturday will not allow the Bulls to climb into the top 4, but there is no doubt that RB will do everything possible to take some sort of revenge on Breisgau Brazilians.
Freiburg form
Seven games in Bundesliga 2021/22 played, Freiburg has achieved 4 wins with three draws and no losses. Excellent statistics for a fairly average team.
