Five facts about RB Leipzig's match against SC Freiburg
- A Leipzig defeat is not to be expected statistically. Freiburg have only managed two draws at the Red Bull Arena so far, returning home as losers five times. Leipzig have been unbeaten against Freiburg for a total of nine competitive matches.
- As always, it is likely to be an intense duel with the Breisgauers. Leipzig and Freiburg are currently the teams with the most duels in the Bundesliga. Freiburg win 52.1 percent of their duels, while RB win just 52.0 percent.
- Leipzig and Freiburg have already met 18 times. However, Freiburg's offense is currently struggling. They have only scored 13 goals in ten Bundesliga games so far.
- Freiburg comes in handy for Timo Werner. He has already scored ten times against SCF, a feat only achieved more often against Mainz. However, Werner missed the trip to Belgrade in the Champions League during the week due to an infection.
- The strong form of RB goalkeeper Janis Blaswich can also be proven statistically. The 32-year-old has already kept five clean sheets this season - the best record in the league. Freiburg's Noah Atubolu is on a similar level and has already achieved this three times.
In the upcoming Bundesliga match, RB Leipzig aims to maintain their unbeaten streak against SC Freiburg, having won or drawn all their previous nine meetings at the Red Bull Arena. Despite Freiburg's offense currently struggling, scoring only 13 goals in ten Bundesliga games, Leipzig's Timo Werner has had success against them, scoring ten goals against SCF.
