Freiburg host Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Sunday in what looks set to be a crucial clash at the bottom of the table.
The hosts have failed to win since the opening day of the season, sliding to 14th in the table in the process, with Mainz picking up their first point of the season against Schalke prior to the international break.
We say: Freiburg 2-1 Mainz 05
We expect this to be a closely-fought affair between two sides devoid of confidence at present, but Freiburg may have the edge with the threat of their front two.
Lucas Holer has looked in decent form given the circumstances this season and could have too much for a Mainz defence consistently leaking goals.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

FC Koln entertain Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Sunday with the hosts looking to gain a positive result and move out of the relegation zone.
Union Berlin, however, are only looking upwards after moving into fifth place in the table with a thumping 5-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld prior to the international break.
We say: FC Koln 1-2 Union Berlin
Despite losing four of their seven matches this season, Koln have been competitive in every match and we expect no different here.
However, with Kruse in his most impressive form for years and Union Berlin playing some very impressive football in recent weeks, Fischer's side could have the edge.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
