FC Augsburg host SC Freiburg at the WWK Arena on October 31, 2026, with kick-off at 14:30 local time. Both sides return to Bundesliga action after reaching the DFB-Pokal round of 16, although neither had a straightforward passage: Augsburg beat Sonnenhof Großaspach 4-2, while Freiburg came from behind to defeat VfL Wolfsburg 3-2. Freiburg enter the fixture third in the Bundesliga and Augsburg ninth, but the recent results and scoring records suggest a contest in which both teams will have opportunities to make an impact.

FC Augsburg's Recent Form and Key Stats

Augsburg have taken one win, three draws and one defeat from their last five matches. Their 4-2 cup victory over Sonnenhof Großaspach on October 27 secured progress to the next round and provided a timely boost before Freiburg's visit. Across those five games, Augsburg have averaged 2.4 goals scored and 2.2 conceded per match. Those figures capture both the threat they have offered going forward and the goals they have allowed at the other end.

In the Bundesliga, Augsburg's record stands at two wins, three draws and two defeats, with averages of 2.4 goals scored and 1.9 conceded. Matches involving them have produced at least two total goals in each of their last 21 outings, including their last 19 league games. They have also scored at least once in each of their last 13 Bundesliga home matches, a particularly relevant run as they prepare to face the division's third-placed side.

The second half has been a notable source of action in Augsburg's recent fixtures. At least one goal has been scored after the interval in their last 14 matches, while their last 12 have each featured at least two second-half goals. Both teams have scored in the second half of Augsburg's last six matches, including their last five in the Bundesliga. The cup win will add confidence, but their recent goals-conceded average shows why sustaining that attacking output could matter against Freiburg.

Augsburg have had to manage the absences of Brackelmann, Suso, Breithaupt and Claude Maurice. Ibrahimovic, Kade and Massengo are among the players highlighted for their contributions, while Matsima has impressed in defence. Even with players unavailable, the home side arrive with a cup victory behind them and an extended run of scoring in league games at home.

SC Freiburg's Recent Form and Key Stats

Freiburg have won two and lost three of their last five matches, scoring an average of 1.6 goals and conceding 2.4. Their cup success against Wolfsburg on October 28 was therefore an important change of direction. Freiburg had to respond after falling behind, and Julian Schuster pointed to his side's belief and discipline as they recovered to win 3-2. The result followed defeats against Bayern, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Monaco mentioned in the match build-up.

Their Bundesliga campaign has been stronger than that short run of results might suggest. Freiburg sit third with four wins, one draw and two defeats, averaging 2.3 goals scored and 1.3 conceded in league play. Augsburg will have to account for that scoring rate, even if Freiburg's latest five-match figures indicate that they have also given opponents chances.

Goals have been a recurring feature of Freiburg's matches. At least two total goals have been scored in 22 of their last 23 outings, and at least three in 18 of the last 20. Their games have contained a first-half goal in each of the last 17, including their last 11 away matches. Freiburg have trailed at half-time in each of their last three games, while 28 of their last 29 matches have featured a goal after the break. Together, those patterns leave plenty of scope for the game to change as it progresses.

Matanovic is identified as being in particularly good form, and Suzuki has also been performing consistently. Freiburg have absences of their own: Yilmaz and Scherhant are unavailable, while Treu was injured in the cup match. Their comeback against Wolfsburg nevertheless demonstrated a capacity to respond in a difficult game before this Bundesliga trip.

FC Augsburg vs SC Freiburg Match Analysis

The contrast between the league positions and the recent five-match records makes this an intriguing fixture. Freiburg have the higher Bundesliga placing and the stronger league win total, but Augsburg's home scoring streak gives them a clear reason for confidence. Neither side's recent matches have been short of goals: Augsburg have averaged 2.4 scored and 2.2 conceded across their last five, while Freiburg have averaged 1.6 scored and 2.4 conceded over the same span.

The most recent head-to-head meeting ended 2-2 on January 18, 2026. Across the five meetings covered by the supplied head-to-head record, Augsburg have two wins, two draws and one defeat, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. That record does not settle what will happen this time, but the latest draw fits the broader picture of two sides capable of finding a goal against each other.

Another active second half would be consistent with Augsburg's recent games and Freiburg's long run of matches featuring goals after the interval. Freiburg's first-half scoring pattern also suggests that the opening period deserves attention. With both clubs through in the cup and now focused on the Bundesliga, Augsburg's reliable home scoring and Freiburg's league attacking average make goals at both ends a coherent expectation for this match.
