In the first two H2H games this season, each team won their home game, Stuttgart 1:0 and Freiburg 3:1. Over the past ten H2H games, Stuttgart have won four times, while Freiburg have won six.
Regarding the number of goals, seven of the past ten H2H games ended with three or more goals, with both teams scoring in five of those ten H2H games.
Stuttgart team overview
Stuttgart had two very good seasons behind them in which they had one second-place Bundesliga finish and a German Cup title. This year, the Reds did well across competitions, reaching the Europa League 1/8 Finals, and are in 4th place in the Bundesliga with 56 points from 30 rounds. With only four rounds left, they will most likely secure Europe, but their primary goal at the moment is to secure a top-four finish and the Champions League appearance next season.
After a 4:2 loss to Bayern Munich, coach Sebastian Hoeneß spoke to the media. He said that many parts of their plan worked. However, he pointed out that when everything suddenly clicked for Bayern, they let the game get out of control.

Freiburg team overview
Freiburg have been solid throughout the season, but it seems they are only getting better as the season progresses. Across competitions, the Breisgau Brazilians won six of the past seven games, securing the Europa League Semi-Finals against Braga and moving to seventh place in the Bundesliga. There, they are pretty far from sixth place, but they can secure Europe from seventh this year. It will be interesting to see how well they will deal with playing on three fronts in the final part of the season.
After a 2:1 win over Heidenheim, coach Julian Schuster spoke to the media. He was satisfied with the result, given the number of games they had played recently. The coach also said they need to stay focused and not get complacent after their winning tight matches.

Prediction
Stuttgart went over 2.5 goals in back-to-back games against Hamburg SV and Bayern Munich. They are generally in very good offensive form, having scored 11 goals in the past four games, including two against a great Bayern Munich squad.
Freiburg won four in a row and six of the past seven games. During that seven-game stretch, they scored 18 goals - 2.57 goals per game. Due to their great offensive performance, they went over 2.5 goals in six of the past seven matches.
Additionally, six of the past seven H2H games ended with three or more goals, with an average of 3.6 goals per game. Considering all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
4 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Stuttgart went over 2.5 goals in three of the past four games
- Freiburg went over 2.5 goals in six of the past seven games across competitions
- Freiburg scored 2+ goals in six of the previous seven games
- Six of the past seven H2H games ended with three goals
