The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 5.50 for a home win, with a draw at 4.00 and 1.62 for the victory of the guests. The teams occupy the bottom half of the table, as Freiburg are 15th with a total of 18 points and are just above the danger zone. Guests from Borussia Dortmund take the last place with 16 points collected.
Freiburg is above the danger zone, but the teams situated behind in the standings - Stuttgart and Hertha are level on points with them. In the last round the team lost with 1-0 from Borussia Monchengladbach as guests, but in a round before players reached full twist over Eintracht Frankfurt after losing with 1-0 in the first half and managed to finish 4-1 in their favour. Against the recent grand Borussia Dortmund, Freiburg has several problems associated with injured defenders Christopher Jullien and Stefan Mitrovic and the Swiss striker Admir Mehmedi.
Borussia Dortmund continued their way to the "total" bottom. Yellow and black recorded 11th loss in the league, this time at home with Augsburg (0-1). Chaos in the team seems irreversible, although there is a glimmer in their game at times. Jurgen Klopp is still at the helm and flatly refused to resign, saying that he will pull the team from the bottom. For the visit to Freiburg, will be available universal midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz, Sven Bender and Sebastian Kehl.
In the last round against Augsburg, Borussia Dortmund were with one player more almost half an hour and failed to reach at least equality and for the forthcoming visit is unlikely to do better, although they are particular favourites of the bookmakers.
