SC Freiburg vs RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig are unbeaten in their last 12 competitive games against SC Freiburg (W8, D4). This is Freiburg’s longest ongoing wait for a victory against a current top-flight side. RBL have won each of the last five meetings, making this their longest ongoing winning streak against any side in professional football.

With eight points from seven games, this is RB Leipzig’s worst-ever second half of a Bundesliga season. Overall, the side from Saxony are on 38 points from 24 matchdays, their joint-lowest tally at this stage (also 38 points in 2017/18).

RB Leipzig have only won one of their last eight Bundesliga games (D5, L2) and suffered their first defeat in the second half of the season last time out (previously W1, D5). The Red Bulls are winless in their last five Bundesliga away matches (D3, L2), their longest wait under Marco Rose. They last went longer without an away victory in the league from May to October 2022 (8 games).

SC Freiburg are on 40 points after 24 matchdays – they have only ever been better off at this stage in the top flight in 2022/23 (45 points) and 1994/45 (46 – using 3 points per win). No team has claimed more points over the last five matchdays than Freiburg (13, same as Bayern).

This is SC Freiburg’s first Bundesliga game at home on a Saturday night since the end of March 2014 (3-2 win over 1. FC Nürnberg). Freiburg are yet to lose any of their three home matches in the primetime slot (W1, D2), while only FC Bayern (2.83) average more points per home game this term than SCF (2.27).
