Freiburg Preview
In its most recent league meeting with Wolfsburg, Freiburg was thrashed 6-0 on aggregate. It was an extensive participation of the entire opposing team that started with Patrick Wimmer’s goal in the first minute and ended in the 90+3 minute with Luca Waldschmidt’s goal from the penalty spot. The day will surely be one to forget for the Vultures, as repeated defensive errors were the ones that extended the score.
The team coached by German Christian Streich is fourth place in the Bundesliga standings with 30 points from 9 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. For this new clash between Freiburg and Frankfurt, it is expected that Fribourg can get back to winning ways to move closer to the top of the standings, as they are very close to leaders Bayern.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Mark Flekken, Kiliann Sildillia, Matthias Ginter, Manuel Gulde, Christian Günter, M. Eggestein, Nicolas Höfler, Ritsu Doan, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Jeong Woo-Yeong, Michael Gregoritsch.
Frankfurt Preview
Frankfurt is currently second in the Bundesliga standings. The team coached by Austrian Oliver Glasner registers 9 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses so far this season.
In the last five matchdays, the Eagles have only won three games, so they will surely come to the match Freiburg vs Frankfurt looking to increase their level, as there are several teams that have the same number of points. On the other hand, they will try to take all the three points to reduce Bayern’s five-point lead.
In their most recent match against Schalke 04, Frankfurt won 3-0, thanks to goals from Jesper Lindstrom, Rafael Santos Borré and Aurélio Buta. Thus, Frankfurt remains in the fight as one of the tournament’s favorite teams to lift the trophy.
Possible lineup (3-4-2-1): Kevin Trapp, Kristijan Jakić, Hrvoje Smolčić, Evan N’Dicka, Eric Ebimbe, Daichi Kamada, Djibril Sow, Ansgar Knauff, Jesper Lindstrøm, Mario Götze, Randal Kolo.
JefeBet Prediction
Taking into account their last results, we believe that it will be the away team who will win this Freiburg vs Frankfurt.
So far this team is on a 4-game unbeaten streak, delighting their fans with their style of play, and they will face a local team that was badly beaten last week. This match will be vital for the Eagles, as they will be able to close the gap on Bayern, whom they will face on the following matchday.
Prediction: Frankfurt wins 1-0.
