Eintracht Frankfurt vs Freiburg prediction: Tight game on the cards
Key Stats

Correct score prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 Freiburg
Eintracht Frankfurt are beginning to lose serious ground on the top six following a run of just one victory in 11 games.
Fortunately for the Eagles, there are positive signs ahead following a string of encouraging performances.
For instance, Frankfurt kicked off February with a 1-1 draw at Union Berlin – a result which ended their four-match losing run across all competitions.
They backed that up with a 3-0 thumping of Borussia Monchengladbach before giving Bayern Munich a run for their money in a 3-2 defeat last weekend.
Freiburg have also seen an upswing in results, picking up five victories from their last eight matches in all competitions.
Last weekend, Freiburg powered to a 2-1 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach to leapfrog Eintracht into seventh spot in the table – still sitting six points adrift of the top six.
The Breisgau Brazilians could boost their European ambitions even further with a win over Eintracht, though that may be a tall task considering they have only managed two away wins since late November.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bookmakers back the hosts
HOME: 23/20 (2.15) – 46.5%
DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
AWAY: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%

Eintracht Frankfurt preview: Lengthy injury list
Fresh from giving Bayern Munich a run for their money, Eintracht Frankfurt will now be looking to close that eight-point gap to the top six.
To do so, they will have to overcome a lengthy injury list that currently includes Michy Batshuayi, Younes Ebnoutalib, Ansgar Knauff, Rasmus Kristensen, Arthur Theate and Can Uzun.
In better news for the Eagles, Robin Koch should be ready to feature this weekend after overcoming his illness.
Jonathan Burkardt should also start after marking his return from injury with a goal against Bayern last weekend.
Predicted lineup: Kaua Santos (GK), Collins, Amenda, Koch, Brown, Larsson, Doan, Gotze, Kalimuendo, Burkardt & Bahoya

Freiburg preview: Freiburg chasing the top six
With three wins from their previous five games, Freiburg have been able to keep pace with the likes of Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig.
However, in order to take those teams over in the standings, Freiburg will require a string of victories between now and the end of the season.
Ahead of this weekend’s game, the visitors will be without Jan-Niklas Beste and Johan Manzambi, who are both suspended.
Lukas Kubler, Philipp Lienhart, and Max Rosenfelder are all still struggling with injuries and will not be in action on Sunday.
Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, who has missed the last three years with a torn cruciate ligament injury, continues to train with the squad as he builds up his match fitness.
Predicted lineup: Atubolu (GK), Treu, Ginter, Ogbus, Gunter, Eggestein, Osterhage, Scherhant, Suzuki, Grifo & Matanovic

Player to watch: Jonathan Burkardt
Eintracht Frankfurt top scorer Jonathan Burkardt is the man to watch this Sunday.
The 25-year-old recently returned from injury and scored in his first game back against Bayern Munich. With nine goals in 11 Bundesliga games to his name, the German striker is likely to cause Freiburg's defence a lot of problems.
