Freiburg’s stronger league position and four wins from six matches give them a solid case to be favoured, even though Augsburg’s home record is unbeaten so far. The hosts have drawn three of their four home games, so this could be a close contest, but Freiburg’s overall results and defensive record make the away side our preferred 1/X/2 selection.

FC Augsburg performance check
Augsburg enter the fixture in ninth place with nine points from seven matches. Their record stands at two wins, three draws and two defeats, and the goal figures—17 scored and 13 conceded—point to a side that has been lively in attack but not consistently secure at the back. That balance is reflected in their recent results: across their last five matches in all competitions they have one win, three draws and one loss.
Their latest Bundesliga outing ended 1-1 at home against 1. FC Union Berlin, extending a pattern of competitive but often level contests. Augsburg have been particularly difficult to beat at the WWK ARENA, where they have won once and drawn three times without losing. That home resilience is an important counterpoint to Freiburg’s higher league position, although three draws also show that converting promising performances into victories has been a challenge.
Augsburg’s most recent result in all competitions was a 4-2 away win over SG Sonnenhof Großaspach. The scoreline will have offered an attacking boost, but it also underlines the need for defensive discipline against a Freiburg team with a strong scoring record. Coach Manuel Baum will want his side to use its home energy while avoiding the open exchanges that could suit the visitors.
How SC Freiburg are shaping up
Freiburg arrive in Augsburg third in the table on 13 points. They have collected four wins, one draw and two defeats from six league games, scoring 16 goals and conceding nine. That goal difference is stronger than Augsburg’s, and the visitors’ combination of productive attacking play and a comparatively tighter defence helps explain their position near the top of the standings.
Their last five matches across all competitions have brought two wins and three defeats, so the recent sequence is less convincing than their league ranking might suggest. Freiburg’s latest match, however, was a 3-2 home victory over VfL Wolfsburg, giving them a positive result to take into this trip. Their most recent Bundesliga game was a 1-3 home loss to Bayern Munich, a setback against formidable opposition rather than a result that should alone define their current level.
Away from home, Julian Schuster’s side have recorded one win, one draw and one defeat. That is a balanced but not dominant road record, and it means Freiburg will need to manage the atmosphere and Augsburg’s energetic start. Still, their overall scoring output and superior points tally make them the stronger side on paper. Schuster’s team has enough attacking threat to trouble the hosts, while its nine goals conceded in six league matches suggest a degree of defensive reliability.
The last direct duels
The most recent meeting between these clubs finished 2-2, both in all competitions and in the Bundesliga. That result captures how closely matched the fixture can be: Augsburg have often been capable of making life uncomfortable for Freiburg, while the visitors have also shown they can find a way through the home defence.
Across the last five meetings in all competitions, Augsburg have won twice, two games have ended level and Freiburg have won once. The hosts therefore hold a narrow edge in that short head-to-head sample, but the overall record is balanced enough that it should not outweigh the current league picture. The latest draw and the teams’ attacking numbers support the possibility of goals at both ends, while Freiburg’s stronger start to the season gives them the edge for the match result.
Match conclusion and prediction
Augsburg’s unbeaten home record makes them a difficult opponent, and their 17 league goals show that they can pose a real threat. However, a high number of draws at the WWK ARENA means that home advantage has not consistently translated into three points. Freiburg have accumulated four wins already, sit six places above their hosts and have conceded fewer goals despite scoring at a similarly strong rate.
The visitors’ recent form includes several defeats, so this is not a risk-free away selection. Yet their latest 3-2 win should provide some momentum, and the overall league evidence favours Schuster’s team. Our prediction is a Freiburg victory, with Augsburg likely to contribute to an entertaining game. Both teams to score is the complementary selection, given the hosts’ attacking output, Freiburg’s scoring form and the 2-2 result in the last direct meeting.
