The Signal Iduna park is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter in the Bundesliga top four as Dortmund and Freiburg clash heads. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Freiburg have gotten the better of der BVB in the last two meetings between the two sides including the reverse match back in August where they secured a 2-1 win. Would we see them make it three straight wins against their opponents ?

Dortmund giving chase of the defending champions

Borussia Dortmund would be looking to move within three points of the league leaders this Friday following Bayern's shock loss to the Monchengladbach last weekend. Der BVB almost missed the opportunity to go six of the Bavarians as they had to score three goals in the final 19 minutes of the game last weekend against Hertha Berlin. Dortmund has been pretty much spotless on their own patch, winning eight of the nine league games they've played at the Signal Iduna and given that they don't have any room for error as they welcome Freiburg this Friday, all hands would need to be on deck against a confident Freiburg outfit.

Freiburg have performed way above expectations this season as they find themselves in the discussion for Champions League football next season. After eighteen league games, a record of eight wins, six draws and four losses has amassed them a total of 30 points which is enough for 4th place. It is to be noted that much of Freiburg's success has come away from home as they head into this game with the second-best away record in the league. In their most recent game, they were held by Arminia Bielefeld as both sides settled for a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw. Several sides are in contention for a place in the top four and as such, Freiburg could well use a positive result this Friday.
