Freiburg take on the visitors Eintracht Frankfurt in the round 7 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, October 19th at Europa-Park Stadion (Freiburg).
Freiburg begin the season without their long-time manager. The “Brazilians of Breisgau” had been guided for many years by Christian Streich. His tenure saw ups and downs, but success was never too far away. The previous campaign could have been the culmination of his work — for a long time, Freiburg stayed among the top four contenders. However, falling just a few points short, they finished fifth, missing out on the chance to play in the Champions League. Now Julian Schuster has taken over, and his start was far from ideal: after scraping past minnows Sportfreunde Lotte in the cup, Freiburg went on to lose their first two Bundesliga matches. They later found form in autumn, winning three times, including a Europa League victory over Basel. Still, consistency remains an issue — their recent draws against Hoffenheim, Bologna, and Borussia Mönchengladbach show a team solid in structure but lacking the killer instinct up front. Defensively, they remain disciplined, yet their inability to convert chances often costs them valuable points.

Eintracht Frankfurt have developed a reputation for discovering prolific strikers at bargain prices. In January, they managed to sell Marmoush to Manchester City for a major profit, yet even without the Egyptian’s goals and assists, the team climbed into the Bundesliga’s top three. Over the summer, Hugo Ekitike moved to Liverpool, but new signing Can Uzun already has 5 goals and 3 assists in the league, while Ritsu Doan has contributed 2 goals and 3 assists. Initially, Dino Toppmöller’s men started the season strongly, collecting several wins in a row, but their form has recently dipped. Heavy defeats like the 1-5 loss to Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and two losses in their last three Bundesliga games show signs of fatigue and defensive instability. However, their attack remains one of the most entertaining in Germany, capable of scoring against any opponent. If they tighten their back line, Eintracht could once again push for a Champions League spot.
Eintracht have won both of the last two meetings in entertaining, high-scoring matches. This is a fairly balanced matchup, with both sides known for scoring and conceding plenty. The bet is over 2.5 total goals — goals are expected from both ends once again.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
