Odds on SC Freiburg to finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga shortened from 10/3 to 7/4 at Betway, with seven of ten bookmakers cutting their odds.
The odds on SC Freiburg to finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga have been slashed from 10/3 to 7/4 with Betway, and after another comeback win on the road, the bookies are finally taking this Freiburg side seriously.
Seven of ten bookmakers have cut their odds on SC Freiburg to finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga.
Bet Victor are still holding out at 7/2, the best price on the board for Freiburg.
Igor Matanović and Cyriaque Irié both came off the bench to score in Saturday's 2-1 win at Augsburg.
Bayern Munich remain the favourites at 1/100 with BetMGM UK, with three more clubs priced odds-on behind them.
Freiburg went behind early at the WWK Arena when Michael Gregoritsch put Augsburg in front, and for long spells it looked like one of those messy afternoons that costs a side ground in the race. Then the bench delivered. Matanović came on and levelled, before Irié, another substitute, won it late on to complete a 2-1 comeback. Two replacements, two goals, and a result that told the market plenty about this squad.
That is the real story behind the shortening. Julian Schuster made seven changes to his starting line-up after Wednesday's 3-2 DFB-Pokal win over VfL Wolfsburg, and still took the points on the road. When a squad can rotate that heavily and keep winning, bookmakers take notice, which is exactly why prices have been cut across the board. It is the kind of depth any DStv Premiership coach juggling league and cup fixtures would envy, and with a European campaign running alongside the domestic one, it is Freiburg's single biggest asset this season.

Will SC Freiburg finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga?
Bayern Munich are the favourites at 1/100 with BetMGM UK, so realistically Freiburg are scrapping with the chasing pack for the places behind them. The wider German Bundesliga odds still lean heavily on the established names, with Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig all priced odds-on, which tells you how much ground Freiburg still have to make up in the betting. The Augsburg win moved them on to 16 points, though, and our view is clear: the shortening is justified, because a side that wins with its second string is not one to dismiss in the log.
Bayern Munich – 1/100 with BetMGM UK, about as short as prices get in this market.
Borussia Dortmund – 1/8 with Unibet, firmly in the frame and trusted by the bookmakers.
Bayer Leverkusen – 1/2 with Betway, odds-on but with a little more room for doubt.
RB Leipzig – 8/13 with Betway, the longest of the odds-on quartet and the side Freiburg backers will be watching closest.

What do SC Freiburg need to do to finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga?
Keep the bench firing. Thursday's trip to Trabzonspor in the Conference League means more rotation, and Schuster will lean on the same depth that won at Augsburg before Sunday's visit of Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Union arrive having drawn their last three Bundesliga matches, a stubborn away side that will make Freiburg work hard for every opening in front of goal. Take the points at home and the SC Freiburg odds could keep moving in the same direction, with the current 7/4 at Betway starting to look like the price that got away. Our take is simple: the move is justified, and a squad this deep gives Freiburg every reason to keep pushing.
