Eintracht Frankfurt won both matches last season against Freiburg, but Freiburg’s impressive 2019-20 season included a 1-0 win against Frankfurt. Nils Petersen scored the only goal of the game, with both Gelson Fernandes and David Abraham sent off for the visitors. Here are the results of the last five matches:
Oct 27, 2019: SC Freiburg 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt are in dreadful form and have lost twice since getting back to action too. They are at serious risk of being dragged into an unexpected and unwanted relegation fight.
Freiburg, meanwhile, have also lost their form but remain in touch with European qualification for next season. This is a big opportunity then to get back to winning ways themselves.
Goals have been their issue. One was enough when these teams last met, but Nils Petersen – who scored that goal – has been lacking in goals recently.
Against an Eintracht team shipping far too many goals, however – albeit their last two matches were against top four teams – it is a big chance to get back to form.
With neither side in particularly good form and both still looking for a first win since getting back to action, there may be little in this game.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s dreadful form means there is a serious chance Freiburg could upset the odds in this one.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s dismal form has not stopped them being installed as favourites, which means Freiburg are a best price of 13/5 to win with Betfair.
You can get a best price of 19/5 on under 1.5 goals with Paddy Power; there was only one last time these teams met.
Betting against both teams to score, meanwhile, will return 7/5 with Paddy Power.
Nils Petersen is desperate to get back to goalscoring ways and can be backed at a best price of 21/10 with Bet365 and 888sport to score at any time.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s dismal form has continued and this is a big chance for Freiburg to get back to winning ways themselves and stay in touch with the top seven.
Correct score prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 0-1 SC Freiburg
The key selection decision for Adi Hutter remains which of Andre Silva and Bas Dost to start up front – they have only started together once, so it is likely to be just one of the two again. Goncala Pacienca remains sidelined, but Daichi Kamada could return.
Filip Kostic – Directly involved in 29 goals so far this season, scoring 12 of them and setting up another 17.
Martin Hinteregger – Scored twice for Frankfurt and once in his own net at the weekend, but he remains a key part of the defence.
Sebastian Rode – Has set up all three goals Frankfurt have scored since the Bundesliga season restarted in May.
Two heavy defeats before the season was paused and two since have continued Eintracht Frankfurt’s alarming slide down the table. This month, they have lost 3-1 at home to Borussia Monchengladbach – Andre Silva scoring their goal – and lost 5-2 to Bayern Munich despite Martin Hinteregger’s quickfire double having put them back in contention at 3-2.
Rotation is likely for Freiburg, with little time for recovery before they welcome Bayer Leverkusen on Friday. With Luca Waldschmidt (ankle) still sidelined, however, Nils Petersen is likely to continue up front.
Nils Petersen – Lacking goals but he has scored eight goals in 27 matches so far this season and has a better record against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Alexander Schwolow – The goalkeeper could hold the key to Freiburg’s chances as they look to keep things tight at the back.
Lucas Holer – With Waldschmidt out, could be given another chance alongside Petersen as he looks to add to his four goals for the season.
SC Freiburg have drawn one and lost one so far since returning to action. Manuel Gulde scored in a 1-1 draw at RB Leipzig, but they followed that up with a 1-0 loss to Werder Bremen.
