Borussia Dortmund are the joint-highest scorers in the Bundesliga, with youngsters Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho lighting up the league. BVB host Freiburg on Saturday afternoon looking to make up ground on leaders Bayer Munich at the top of the German top-flight table.
Lucien Favre’s team have been in good form of late in Bundesliga, picking up five wins in the last six matches in the German top-flight, while scoring at least two goals in each of the wins.
BVB’s attacking prowess has been a telling factor in Dortmund maintaining an interest in the Bundesliga title race. Sancho has scored an impressive 13 goals and produced 14 assists in the German top-flight. Haaland has made just six league appearances for Haaland, scoring nine times in the Bundesliga.
Dortmund’s home form has also been a reason for their recent good results in the Bundesliga, as BVB are unbeaten in 12 home matches, having recorded nine wins. They will be confident of producing another positive result in this clash.

Freiburg are still in the race for qualification for next season’s Europa League, just three points outside the league’s top-six. However, a poor recent run of form in the Bundesliga has hampered their chances of finishing in the European spots.
In fact, Christian Streich’s team have won just two of their last nine Bundesliga matches. A 2-0 home defeat against Fortuna Dusseldorf last time out means the visitors have lost three of their last five league matches.
The defeat against Fortuna followed a familiar low-scoring trend for Freiburg in the German top-flight, as four of their last five league outings have produced under 2.5 goals.
Freiburg have been poor on their travels of late, as they have won just once in their last nine outings.
Forebet predicts that Dortmund will continue their scoring and winning form by recording a victory to stay in touch with the leaders at the top of the Bundesliga.
