Freiburg have recovered from a slow start to the season to win each of their last three matches, seeing BTTS in two of these games against Stuttgart and Basel. They’ve scored eight goals across their opening four Bundesliga matches, winning two and losing two of these matches.

As well as Freiburg’s recent uptick in form, they were pretty solid at home last season with their games regularly producing goals. Freiburg avoided defeat in 12 of their 17 home games, winning nine of these matches. They scored 32 goals across these games (1.88 per game) but also conceded 26 (1.52 per game).

Hoffenheim have seen BTTS in all four of their Bundesliga matches so far this season with their most recent fixture ending in a 4-1 defeat to Bayern Munich. Hoffenheim really struggled on the road last season, winning just three of their 17 away assignments - only Holstein Kiel (2) won fewer games on the road than Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga last season.

They did carry a goal threat in these games, netting 21 goals but the 32 they conceded ultimately made it untenable for Hoffenheim to maintain a solid record on the road. Freiburg ran out 3-2 winners in the most recent head to head meeting between the sides with BTTS landing in each of the last five head to head clashes between the teams.

Both of these sides have made positive starts to the season but I’d give the edge to Lille here given their scoring power and impressive home record. Lille have scored 13 goals across their opening five games of the season - this is the joint highest record in Ligue 1 alongside Monaco.

Their games have been very open with Lille also shipping eight goals across these games but still managing to win three of their opening five matches in the French top flight. This would indicate that Lille trust in their scoring power to guide them through games, even if their defensive structure is found lacking.

BTTS has landed in each of the last four head to head clashes between the sides so goals are common in this fixture over recent seasons. It would be naive to ignore Lyon’s impressive start to the season which has seen them win four of their opening five matches in Ligue 1 but their recent away game against Rennes stand out as a chink in the armour.

Lyon lost 3-1 in that game which was only their second away game of the season. They did suffer a red card in the game with Tyler Morton receiving his marching orders in the 75th minute but allowed Rennes to create chances throughout the game with the home side ending the game with an xG of 2.19 from 23 shots.

Lille have won each of their last two home matches against Brann and Toulouse with BTTS landing in each of these games. They won 11 of their 17 home games in Ligue 1 last season, scoring 31 goals across these games which should be enough to unsettle Lyon but not without the away side finding the back of the net.
