SC Freiburg at Hamburger SV Odds, Picks & Prediction

Matchup Preview: HSV Looks to Bounce Back at Home

In a Bundesliga contest on Sunday, May 10, 2026, Hamburger SV hosts SC Freiburg. While both teams have struggled recently, HSV enters with a glimmer of hope after a W1 streak, contrasting with Freiburg's L2 losing streak. The consensus odds reflect a tight matchup, with the spread at Hamburger SV 0 and the moneyline offering significant value at +170 for the home side.

Hamburger SV has been volatile, posting a 1-6 record in their last 10 games, averaging just 1.1 PPG while allowing 2.1 goals per game. However, their home form often defies their overall league standing. SC Freiburg, with a 3-7 record in their last 10, averages slightly better scoring at 1.3 PPG but has been porous defensively, allowing 1.9 PPG. The key to this game may lie in HSV's ability to capitalize on Freiburg's recent defensive lapses.

By The Numbers

Let's break down the statistical edges that could define this match.

Stat	Hamburger SV (Home)	SC Freiburg (Away)
Record (L10)	1-6	3-7
Scoring PPG	1.1	1.3
Allowed PPG	2.1	1.9
Current Streak	W1	L2

Defense vs Position Edges

• Hamburger SV allows fouls at a rank #2 rate (1.6316/game to ALLs), suggesting they may keep the game physical and stop breaks.
• SC Freiburg allows shots at a rank #2 rate (0.8893/game to ALLs) and shots on target at rank #5 (0.2976/game), indicating they limit high-quality chances but may concede volume.
• Freiburg also ranks #4 in clearances allowed (3.2558/game), showing they play a deeper defensive block.

Key Injuries Impact

Hamburger SV is dealing with a massive injury list, which could hamper their consistency. Key absences include Albert Grønbaek (Attacking Midfield), Sander Tangvik (Goalkeeper), Nicolás Capaldo (Central Midfield), and forwards Robert Glatzel and Yussuf Poulsen. Additionally, Bakery Jatta and Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit are out on the wings. SC Freiburg is relatively healthier, with only Lukas Kübler (Right-Back) listed as out.

Odds Analysis

The betting market is split, with the 0 spread indicating a pick'em scenario. However, the moneyline tells a different story. SC Freiburg is +145, while Hamburger SV is +170. This implies the market slightly favors Freiburg, but HSV's home advantage and Freiburg's momentum (L2) make the HSV moneyline an attractive value bet. The Total O/U 2.5 suggests a low-scoring affair, which aligns with both teams' recent defensive struggles and offensive inefficiencies.

Player Props to Watch

• Leopold Querfeld (HSV): Passes attempted O/U 50.5 (+100). As a central midfielder, Querfeld is likely to see significant possession time given HSV's style.
• Tom Rothe (Freiburg): Assists O/U 0.5 (-867). The heavy favorite suggests Rothe is expected to create chances.
• Stefan Posch (Freiburg): Assists O/U 0.5 (-681). Another strong assist line, indicating Freiburg's attacking intent from the back.
• Carl Klaus (HSV): Goalie saves O/U 3.5 (+100). With HSV's defense allowing 2.1 PPG, Klaus is expected to make saves.

Best Bets

1. Hamburger SV +170 Moneyline: The best value pick. HSV has the home field advantage and is coming off a win, while Freiburg is on a losing streak. The odds offer excellent risk/reward.
2. Under 2.5 Goals: Both teams have shown offensive struggles (HSV 1.1 PPG, Freiburg 1.3 PPG) and defensive vulnerabilities that often lead to tight, low-scoring games. The 0 spread suggests a close match.
3. Leopold Querfeld Over 50.5 Passes Attempted: (+100). A solid prop bet given his role in HSV's midfield.

Prediction

Hamburger SV 2-1 SC Freiburg

We expect a hard-fought battle where HSV's home crowd pushes them past a Freiburg side dealing with fatigue and injuries. HSV's defense, despite its flaws, will likely limit Freiburg's high-quality chances (0.2976 SOG/game allowed), while HSV finds a way to score at home.
