Freiburg will invite Hoffenheim to the Europa-Park Stadion in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts are sixth in the league table with 45 points, 15 more than Die Kraichgauer, who are 14th.
Breisgau-Brasilianer returned to winning ways after five games last week, recording a 2-1 away triumph over Borussia Mönchengladbach. Christian Günter's own goal gave Mönchengladbach the lead in the 14th minute, and Patrick Osterhage leveled the score two minutes later. Substitute Johan Manzambi scored his first goal of the season in the 90th minute to help his side register a comeback win.
The visitors registered their first league win in five games last week, with a 2-0 home triumph over Mainz. Andrej Kramarić bagged a first-half brace to take his goalscoring tally for the season to 10.

Freiburg vs Hoffenheim Prediction
Breisgau-Brasilianer bounced back from back-to-back defeats last week and will look to continue that form here. Interestingly, their last three league defeats have all been registered at home. Nonetheless, they are on a seven-game unbeaten streak against the visitors, recording five wins, and are strong favorites.
Junior Adamu picked up his fifth booking of the season last week and will serve a suspension here. Noah Atubolu and Bruno Ogbus remain sidelined while Eren Dinkçi is a doubt with a muscle injury. Merlin Röhl has overcome an illness and should start from the bench.
Die Kraichgauer have been a bit inconsistent recently, with two wins, two losses, and two draws in their last six league games. They have lost their last two away games, conceding four times while scoring just once.
Leo Østigård was sent off last week and will serve a suspension. Alexander Prass is back in training after a month and faces a late fitness test. Grischa Prömel, Ihlas Bebou, and Ozan Kabak are also unlikely to recover in time for this match.
While both teams have been in poor touch recently, considering the hosts' better recent record in this fixture, we back Breisgau-Brasilianer to record a narrow win.
