Stuttgart vs Freiburg Prediction & Betting tips
After a year of abstinence, VfB Stuttgart will celebrate its comeback in Germany’s top soccer league next Saturday. The newcomer gets to do with the sports club from Freiburg at the beginning of the southern derby. From a historical point of view, the Swabians should be the first opponent this season, after all, they were last in nine direct duels in the Bundesliga without defeat.
It is quite possible that this is also one of the reasons why the odds between VfB Stuttgart and Freiburg imply a favorite role of the home side. The 42-year-old Italian-American will make his first division debut on the dugout at the weekend.
On the other hand, Christian Streich is the absolute veteran of the Bundesliga. For comparison: Since the cult coach has been in charge of the Dreisam (winter 2011/12), the Stuttgart-based company has worn out 15 (!) Coaches in return. The fact that the veteran can usually optimally prepare his protégés for the first game of the season became clear last year when the Black Forests started the season with two three-pointers.
We are therefore in good spirits that the SCF will have realistic chances of victory despite the notable departures in the summer. The fact is that before the duel between VfB Stuttgart and Freiburg, a tip on the success of the guests brings with it a much more attractive value than a bet on the newcomer, especially since he has to get used to the faster pace in the upper house.
VfB Stuttgart :
At VfB Stuttgart you are well advised to bake smaller rolls these days and weeks. It must be the aim of the five-time German champions to return to the top half of the table in the medium term, but for the moment it is primarily about relegation and establishment in the Bundesliga. The third decline since 2016 should be avoided at all costs.
But if we look at the betting odds before the first match day, when VfB Stuttgart meets Freiburg, the Swabians are definitely considered to be one of the contenders for one of the last three places. This is primarily due to the fact that there is little Bundesliga experience in the squad and that Bad Canstatt also relies heavily on youth. Especially at the beginning of the season, VfB could therefore pay less time and again.
The preparation, however, was quite successful. Only against Liverpool FC there was a 3-0 defeat for the team of coach Pellegrino Matarazzo. Matches against fellow promoted Bielefeld, against Hamburger SV or Racing Strasbourg were made victorious. The start in the DFB Cup, which is enormously important for self-confidence, also succeeded thanks to a 1-0 success in the uncomfortable away game at third division Hansa Rostock.
Now, however, a completely different caliber is waiting for the young Swabians, who with their quite offensive and playful approach do not pass as typical promoted players and instead will often look for their chances in the game. This in turn will inevitably lead to room for the respective opponent, especially if the coach, similar to the previous week in the DFB Pokal, decides on a three-way chain.
Matarazzo has to complain about a few staff failures. Awoudja, Egloff, Förster, Gonzalzes, Thommy, Mavropanos and Mola are all not available. Keeper Kobel and the new defense chief Waldemar Anton, who was brought from Hanover as a king transfer, will therefore be the only newcomers in the starting line-up. The other players know each other from the second division and didn’t know how to convince there every week.
Freiburg:
It was another typical summer for SC Freiburg. The most talented players Luca Waldschmidt (Benfica Lisbon), Robin Koch (Leeds United) and Alexander Schwolow (Hertha) left the club to climb a step up the career ladder. The Black Forests took just under 40 million and recently reinvested a surprisingly high portion in order to strengthen both at the top and in breadth.
The previous record transfer of the club with Baptiste Santamaria was only set on Thursday. The midfielder comes from Angers for a rumored twelve million euros and should help immediately. Ermedin Demirovic, Guus Til and Florian Müller, who was loaned out at short notice to replace the injured goalkeeper Flekken, definitely have the quality to make the team better.
The dress rehearsal before the Bundesliga kick-off was successful the week before. In the ambitious third division team in Mannheim, the prank team won 2-1 and thus prevented embarrassment. On Saturday afternoon, the aim is to start just as successfully as in the 19/20 season, when the Breisgauer defeated Mainz and Paderborn 3-0 on the first two match days.
In addition to the fact that the coach has a lot of experience and an entire region was eight years ago after the first South Derby victory, it should also be stated that the sports club only suffered six defeats in 17 away games in the previous season . In this regard, a prognosis for the guest three-pointers between VfB Stuttgart and Freiburg is definitely interesting. The aforementioned Flekken is just as injured as Haberer and newcomer Til.
