We recently covered Bologna’s Serie A match against Lecce, and it was a disappointing performance especially from a defensive standpoint. They conceded an xG of 1.80 against a Lecce side that usually struggles to create chances, which highlights their current issues at the back.

Form-wise, Bologna have been inconsistent, with 2 wins, 2 losses, and a draw in their last 5 outings. This makes their clash with Freiburg look like a balanced 50:50 encounter on paper.

Freiburg, on the other hand, is showing far more stability. They are on a strong run in the Bundesliga with two recent victories, and they added another in the Europa League against Basel. Their consistency and sharpness give them an edge.
