SC Freiburg vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
After the international break, of course, the Bundesliga continues and an incredibly interesting duel awaits us on Sunday at 15:30. Eintracht from Frankfurt will be visiting SC Freiburg, the team of the moment. Last weekend, Freiburg suffered their first defeat of the season against the record champions from Munich and Frankfurt only managed their 2nd win of the season against Greuther Fürth. A last-minute goal from Colombian striker Rafael Borré could have given them a 2-1 win at the final whistle.
Nevertheless, things have been anything but smooth in Frankfurt so far and the team is in 14th place with 12 points. Few people at Eintracht expected such a weak start, but perhaps the victory on the last matchday was a liberating blow. Find out who we see in front in this match in this Freiburg – Frankfurt tip

Freiburg Form & Balance Check
Freiburg’s season so far is certainly going a lot better than those in charge could have imagined. Until the last matchday, they were the only team in the Bundesliga still unbeaten. The defeat against Bayern broke that streak, but the Breisgauers are still in a fantastic 3rd place. They certainly won’t have anything to do with relegation and they can slowly turn their eyes to the European places.
Will the Sport-Club remain constant?
The defensive stability has been particularly impressive so far this season and they continue to have the best defence in the league with 9 goals conceded. They are also doing quite well offensively, averaging just over 1.5 goals per game. But the question is, of course, whether they can consistently stay on top. That is the real art and not really easy. The players are not really used to this high level and it is quite possible that weak phases will follow. Nevertheless, they will come out of this season proud one way or another.
Freiburg facts & analysis
– Freiburg are still unbeaten at home
– They have the best defence in the league with 9 goals conceded
– Top scorer is Vincenzo Grifo with 6 goal contributions (3 goals + 3 assists)
Frankfurt Form & Balance Check
The importance of the win for Frankfurt against Greuther Fürth was seen in the players’ reactions after the game. After they had actually already given away the points, the winning goal was scored in the last action. This gave the SGE some breathing space in the cellar. Nevertheless, the numbers are still not good and they have now won against the first and the last team in the table. There is a huge lack of consistency and it is up to the players and the coach to bring it on the pitch from now on.
Europa League Top, Bundesliga Flop
Interestingly, Eintracht have already qualified early for the last 16 in the Europa League in a really challenging group. So internationally, things are going great. But as I said before, they get that conviction on the pitch in the league far too rarely. So far, they have not been able to replace last season’s top striker, André Silva, and they often lack scoring power. In general, the new arrivals haven’t really hit the ground running so far and it seems that some still have to get used to the Bundesliga.
Frankfurt Facts & Analysis
– They currently occupy 14th place in the table.
– Top goalscorer is Filip Kostic with 2 goals.
– Frankfurt have only scored 12 goals in 11 games
Predicted line-up – last update on 19 November 2021
Should the recently in-form Niko Schlotterbeck drop out, his brother Keven could replace him in the defensive centre. Kevin Schade was injured at the U-21s and may be out. Otherwise, we expect the same tactical approach as in recent weeks. For Eintracht, it might be too early for captain Rode to play, Jakic is an alternative. Borré will be the only striker, the 2nd striker position is still open.
