Freiburg — Eintracht Frankfurt : Match Preview and Prediction for October 19,2025

Freiburg finished 5th last season, narrowly missing out on the Champions League after losing a crucial and decisive home match to Eintracht. Consequently, they found themselves in the Europa League instead of Europe’s premier competition.In the new season, Schuster’s squad had a rather cautious start but gradually gained momentum. However, a series of 4 consecutive wins across various tournaments was followed by 3 straight draws just before the October international break. In the Bundesliga, the ‘dark-whites’ settled for draws against Hoffenheim (1-1) at home and Gladbach (0-0) away, while in the Europa League, they salvaged a 1-1 draw in Bologna. Overall, the team is dynamic and exciting, currently sitting 9th in the league, adjacent to Eintracht. Irije and Kyere will be unavailable for the hosts against Frankfurt.

Eintracht, on the other hand, despite expectations after an attacking revamp, had a successful start to the league campaign (Uzun, Doan, Baroia proved effective up front), while the ‘red-blacks’ became considerably worse at defending and maintaining balance between the lines.This explains their 4 losses in the last 6 games, including strange and uncontested thrashings: 1-5 against Atlético in the Champions League and 0-3 at home against Bayern in the Bundesliga.They also suffered a 3-4 home defeat to Union, achieved a 5-1 victory over Galatasaray in the Champions League at home, and engaged in a thrilling 6-4 away match against Mönchengladbach. Toppmöller’s charges are playing more like a hockey team than a football squad, having conceded the most goals in the league despite their respectable 8th position. Christensen’s injury further weakened the team’s defensive ranks (though he has just returned to action), and the goal-fest is expected to continue in Freiburg at Europa-Park Stadion. Baum, Collins, and Theate will be unavailable for the visitors against the ‘dark-whites’.
