Freiburg are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-2 Bundesliga success against Holstein Kiel.

In that game, Freiburg had 40% possession and 9 shots at goal with 4 on target. For Freiburg, goals were scored by Johan Manzambi (45') and Lucas Höler (58'). At the other end, Holstein Kiel got 15 shots at goal with 3 on target. Lasse Rosenboom (24') was the scorer for Holstein Kiel.

It has been seldom in recent times that Freiburg have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Freiburg have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 10 goals on the way. Still, we must now wait to see if such a trend might persist in this next game or not.

Analysis of their past results shows that Freiburg:

• have left without a victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in their previous 5 matches in the league.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

📰 Team News: Freiburg

Eren Dinkçi (muscular problems), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Knee surgery) and Bruno Ogbus (Achilles tendon rupture) will not be able to play for Freiburg manager Julian Schuster.

In all likelihood, Freiburg will possibly use the 4-1-3-2 system for this game with Noah Atubolu, Max Rosenfelder, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Jordy Makengo, Maximilian Eggestein, Ritsu Doan, Johan Manzambi, Vincenzo Grifo, Lucas Hoeler and Chukwubuike Adamu.

📋 Team News: Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmöller has to currently contend with reduced team options. Tuta (muscular problems), Krisztián Lisztes (muscular problems), Kauã Santos (Cruciate ligament tear) and Mario Götze (Torn muscle fiber) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

It’s our belief that Eintracht seem most likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation by sending out Kevin Trapp, Nnamdi Collins, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate, Rasmus Kristensen, Ellyes Skhiri, Hugo Larsson, Nathaniel Brown, Ansgar Knauff, Fares Chaibi and Hugo Ekitike.

💭 Prediction

One thing is for certain, Eintracht Frankfurt will do really well to get a goal against a Freiburg team who have the capability to own this match if all goes as we expect it to.

We’re therefore predicting a very comprehensive 3-0 win for Freiburg at the end of the 90 minutes.
