Freiburg’s campaign has been characterized by their well-drilled defensive shape and efficiency in front of goal. With 34 strikes in 24 Bundesliga matches, Vincenzo Grifo and Ritsu Doan have been instrumental, each contributing eight goals. The team averages 47.2% possession, opting for a pragmatic approach rather than controlling proceedings. Despite their defensive rigidity, Freiburg have suffered setbacks due to injuries, with key players like Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Manuel Gulde sidelined. Their passing accuracy of 49.1% highlights a direct style, relying on quick transitions rather than extended spells of possession. With a resolute backline and clinical finishing, Freiburg will aim to frustrate Leipzig and capitalize on limited chances.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig’s firepower is undeniable, with Benjamin Sesko and Loïs Openda leading the charge, netting 10 and seven goals, respectively. Across 24 Bundesliga matches, they have scored 39 times, demonstrating their attacking prowess. However, their defensive vulnerabilities have been evident, conceding 1.0 goals per game in their last six away fixtures. Leipzig enjoy 52.6% average possession and prefer a fluid, pressing approach, yet injuries to key figures like Xaver Schlager and Antonio Nusa have impacted their depth. Their passing accuracy of 49.7% suggests an emphasis on quick ball progression rather than prolonged build-up. Leipzig’s challenge will be breaking down Freiburg’s resilient defense while ensuring their own backline remains compact against counter-attacks.
