Freiburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-10-18 13:30.
[p]Two sides separated by just a point clash as Freiburg welcome fellow European hopefuls Eintracht Frankfurt to kick off Sunday’s Bundesliga action.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Following defeats in their first two Bundesliga games, Freiburg have returned to their usual solid selves in the four matchdays leading into the latest international break, scoring seven goals as they picked up eight points (W2, D2). Those games have contributed to an overall six-game unbeaten run for Julian Schuster’s men, leaving him just one game shy of equalling his own longest streak at the club set between February and March. Playing at home should provide a boost for Schuster’s side, who are unbeaten in their last three games across all competitions at Europa-Park Stadion (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]After conceding eight goals across a pair of defeats, the international break came at an ideal time for Frankfurt to regroup. The Eagles may consider themselves fortunate to enter this round sitting one point above their hosts on the peripheries of the European places, given that they’ve conceded a negative club record 16 goals after six rounds of a Bundesliga season, conceding 3+ goals in each of their last four league games. Such a porous defence has in part been made up for by a ferocious attack on the road, where Frankfurt have scored a joint league-high ten times prior to the weekend. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Freiburg lost both league meetings last season and have won just one of the last 11 H2Hs (D5, L5). The hosts’ 3-1 H2H defeat on the final day of last season saw Frankfurt qualify for the Champions League at Freiburg’s expense.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Freiburg haven’t kept a clean sheet across their last nine home games. [/p]
[p]Pre-round, only Bayern (11) have scored more second-half goals than both Freiburg and Frankfurt (7 each). [/p]
[p]Frankfurt have a 100% winning record when scoring first in league games this season (W3). [/p]
[p]Frankfurt haven’t kept a clean sheet across any of their last nine Bundesliga games. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Freiburg’s Vincenzo Grifo has scored more goals against only three other clubs than his five against Frankfurt, which came in five separate seasons. Ritsu Dōan made the switch from Freiburg to Frankfurt in the summer after becoming the hosts’ top scorer last season, and he has already directly contributed to five away goals for his new club (G2, A3). [/p]
[p]Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu pulled out of the Germany squad with a knee injury, but should be fit for this clash, while Frankfurt could finally welcome Jessic Ngankam back to the team following his horror leg break last season. [/p]
