Freiburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Preview
Freiburg form analysis
FFC began their 2024 Bundesliga campaign with a 0-0 home draw against Union Berlin on January 13th. On January 20th, Freiburg earned a thrilling 3-2 home win over Hoffenheim thanks to goals from L. Höler, V. Grifo and R. Sallai. However, momentum stalled on January 27th as Freiburg lost 3-1 away to Werder Bremen, despite V. Grifo converting a penalty. Things got worse on February 3rd with a 3-1 home loss to Stuttgart, as Freiburg could only manage a goal from L. Kübler.
Most recently on February 10th, Freiburg suffered another home defeat, losing 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund without scoring. Overall, Freiburg have struggled defensively, keeping just one clean sheet and conceding 3 goals in 3 of their last 4 games. Their strong attack has also faded after the win over Hoffenheim. Tightening up at the back and regaining offensive sharpness will be critical if Freiburg hope to sustain their push for a top table place.
Eintracht Frankfurt form analysis
Eintracht Frankfurt began their 2024 Bundesliga campaign with an impressive 1-0 away win at RB Leipzig on January 13th thanks to A. Knauff’s early goal. Frankfurt drew 2-2 away at Darmstadt on January 20th – they went 2-0 up through N. Nkounkou and A. Knauff but conceded late on. On January 27th Frankfurt edged past Mainz 1-0 at home courtesy of M. Götze’s 72nd minute strike.
However, on February 3rd Frankfurt suffered a 2-0 home defeat to FC Cologne after allowing goals from F. Alidou and J. Thielmann. Looking to bounce back, on February 10th Frankfurt drew 1-1 away to Bochum, taking the lead through Omar Marmoush before conceding to M. Broschinski. Overall, Frankfurt has been solid but inconsistent so far. They’ve shown promise offensively but lacked defensive solidity. Tightening up at the back while maintaining attacking edge will be key if Frankfurt hope to sustain their top table push.
Freiburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Prediction
The hosts and visitors have registered an average scoreline of 2.60 goals in their last five Bundesliga games at home and away respectively. Considering this stat, a high scoring game might be a safe outcome to back.
Frankfurt’s away form is worrying having lost three of their last five league matches away from home. The hosts meanwhile have lost just once at home since September. Therefore, they are likely to take all three points from this game.
