SC Freiburg is on the brink of making Bundesliga history with a perfect start to the season. A home win against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday, September 12, 2026, would secure the club's first-ever three-win start to a Bundesliga campaign. As reported by sportschau.de, Freiburg currently sits 2nd in the table with six points from two games, having scored five goals and conceded just one, with a recent form of two wins (WW).
What is the current record to beat?
SC Freiburg's best Bundesliga start to date came in the 2021/2022 season, when they collected seven points from their first three matches via two wins and a draw. The current flawless record of two wins from two games already surpasses that points tally. The season-opening 4:1 victory over Werder Bremen and the narrow 1:0 win against SC Paderborn have laid the foundation for this potential new milestone. A third consecutive victory would definitively break the club's record.
Why are the odds favorable against Gladbach?
The historical statistics for the clash with Borussia Mönchengladbach strongly favor SC Freiburg. The Breisgau club has been unbeaten at home against Gladbach for almost 25 years, recording twelve wins and six draws in 18 matches. Across all competitions, Freiburg is unbeaten in the last ten encounters (five wins, five draws). Gladbach arrives in Freiburg as the Bundesliga's bottom side, with zero points and two losses from their opening two games. Freiburg will be without the sidelined Florent Muslija and Rihito Yamamoto, but the squad's depth has already been a key asset.
Who is providing the goals this season?
A particular strength of this early season phase is the broad spread of goal threats. In the first five competitive matches across all tournaments, ten different players have already scored for SC Freiburg, netting 17 goals in total. This offensive variety makes the team unpredictable for opponents. Notably, key attacker Vincenzo Grifo has yet to score this season. Grifo started in the DFB-Pokal match against Fortuna Düsseldorf but couldn't find the net. His form remains important for the challenges ahead.
