Both Stuttgart and Freiburg are putting a stop to their good seasons by living up to their standards. Stuttgart were honorably knocked out of the Europa League quarter-finals by a stronger Porto, and in the German league they have been showing good form all season and are currently in 4th place, which gives them a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
Freiburg's journey in the Europa League continues, and they have reached the semi-finals where they will face Braga and have a good chance of making it to the final! In the German league, they also look solid in 7th place with slim chances of going up to 6th or dropping below 8th, which is very good for their team's value.
These teams have already met twice in the German league, with Freiburg winning 3-1 at home in the first match and Stuttgart winning 1-0 at home in the second, although statistics show that there should have been more goals in both matches.
This semi-final cup match, which will decide the winner, will require both teams to sacrifice defenders in order to strengthen their offense, which could further open up the game.
My prediction would be a 3-1 victory for Stuttgart, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended in a 2-2 draw or something similar.
