🗞️ Team News: Freiburg

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

We are thinking that Freiburg will probably use a 4-2-3-1 system for this one and select Noah Atubolu, Max Rosenfelder, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Jordy Makengo, Maximilian Eggestein, Patrick Osterhage, Ritsu Doan, Lucas Höler, Vincenzo Grifo and Junior Adamu.

📰 Team News: Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmöller has to choose a team with limited availability. Kauã Santos (Cruciate ligament tear), Krisztián Lisztes (muscular problems), Junior Dina Ebimbe (Stomach flu) and Mario Götze (Torn muscle fiber) will miss out on this game.

We reckon that Eintracht seem likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 formation using Kevin Trapp, Nnamdi Collins, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate, Rasmus Kristensen, Ellyes Skhiri, Hugo Larsson, Nathaniel Brown, Ansgar Knauff, Jean Bahoya 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.
