Preview

On September 14, 2024, the match between Freiburg and Bochum will take place at the Europa-Park in Freiburg. It will be a match of the third round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season.

Freiburg, under the leadership of new head coach Julian Schuster, started the season successfully, demonstrating a strong performance. After a confident 3:1 victory over Stuttgart in the home match and an opening 4:0 victory over Osnabrück in the German Cup, the "red and whites" suffered a 0:2 defeat to Bayern, but showed themselves well, especially Lukas Kübler with two goals in the previous match.

Bochum, on the other hand, started the season unsuccessfully, losing all three matches before the international break. The Ruhr suffered a 3-0 defeat in the first leg of the Bundesliga playoffs, but a strong finale and penalties saved them from relegation. The coaching change took place in the summer, but the changes in the squad have not yet yielded any tangible results.

Freiburg are expected to be looking to bounce back from the defeat to Bayern, while Bochum will be aiming for their first win of the season to begin their recovery from a poor start.
