The only misfire at home happened in the confrontation with St. Pauli (0:3).

11.00Tip and bets
We don't think the hosts will have any difficulties today. Freiburg played almost with their main squad at the last stage of the Cup, which we expect today as well. The team clearly has a rather cool attitude towards this tournament, and the team doesn't play in European Cups. Hamburg plays poorly in away games, concedes a lot, plus there are significant losses in the squad. At the moment, the hosts are superior to their opponents in all respects.
Our prediction is a Freiburg victory with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.81
Bet on total
Since the start of the season, Freiburg have played three official matches on their home field, and at least three goals have been scored in all of them. Hamburg is not known for its reliable defense, and today we can expect a productive game.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.57
Bet on corners
It is obvious that Freiburg will spend a lot of time at the opponent goal as the hosts. In this scenario, there is a high probability that the team will confidently win on corners.
Forecast - Freiburg win on corners with a handicap of (-1.5) with odds of 1.60
