The Matchday 34 fixture of the German Bundesliga will take place on Saturday at the Europa-Park Stadion, where local side Freiburg will host Eintracht. I’m tipping a bet on goals in this clash, with an enticing odds offer.
Match preview
Julian Schuster’s men continue to impress with their consistency as the season draws to a close. In the previous round, the team delivered a confident away performance, defeating Holstein Kiel 2-1. That win marked their fourth in the last five league matches, only drawing once in that span. However, it’s worth noting that they managed to keep a clean sheet in just one of those games.
Despite some defensive issues in recent outings, Freiburg still ranks among the league’s leaders in clean sheets — 11 matches have ended without conceding a goal. The club currently sits fourth in the standings, and the upcoming match could prove decisive in the race for a Champions League spot — a win would secure their place in Europe’s premier competition. Over their last 13 home league matches, Freiburg have suffered just three defeats, notching up seven wins and three draws.
In the previous round, Eintracht played out a 2-2 draw at home against St. Pauli, marking their ninth stalemate of the current campaign. Interestingly, only one of those draws failed to see both teams score. Notably, in 21 of Eintracht’s Bundesliga 2024/25 matches, both sides have found the back of the net.
Eintracht are firmly entrenched in third place in the Bundesliga table, and a single point from this next fixture will guarantee them a long-awaited Champions League berth. However, Julian Schuster’s side have struggled away from home, winning just once in their last seven Bundesliga road games, with four draws and two defeats.
Probable lineups
- Freiburg: Noah Atubolu – Philipp Lienhart, Maximilian Rosenfelder, Jordy Makengo, Matthias Ginter – Patrick Osterhage, Maximilian Eggestein, Ritsu Doan, Vincenzo Grifo – Johan Manzambi, Chikwubuike Adamu
- Eintracht: Kevin Trapp – Arthur Theate, Rasmus Kristensen, Tuta, Robin Koch – Ansgar Knauff, Nathaniel Brown, Hugo Larsson, Ellyes Skhiri – Jean-Mattéo Bahoya, Hugo Ekitike
Match facts and head-to-head

Prediction
