Also in the Frankfurt Commerzbank Arena rolls on Saturday afternoon after a month-long winter break again the round leather. A guest at the SBU is SC Freiburg.
An opponent that Eintracht has not been looking forward to lately, as in the last two home games in the Beletage of German football there was only one point for the reigning DFB Cup winner (one draw, one defeat). All the more the team, who was so confident in the first round in the Europa League and could win all six group matches, now wants to end this negative series and create a great start to the second half, in which another participation for the international show business should jump out. Something with which the Black Forest should have not yet fully completed at only six points behind sixth place on their part.
Nevertheless Frankfurt is against Freiburg according to quotas of all bookmakers in the clear favorite role. After all, the SGE has not lost a season game against an opponent who was in the lower half of the table at the start of the matchday. In Frankfurt against Freiburg should also be included in the forecast that the sports club has caught four of his six defeats season against teams that currently represent the Bundesliga in Europe. So some factors that clearly favor tip 1 against Frankfurt against Freiburg.
Frankfurt – Statistics & Current Form
Although nothing has happened to the long-term injured Timothy Chandler and Lucas Torró, the SBU can not only go into the second round with the rest of the regular staff, but also with a very prominent newcomer. We are talking about returnee Sebastian Rode, whom Eintracht initially borrowed from Borussia Dortmund until the end of the season. The former Under-21 international left the Hessen once in the summer of 2014 to FC Bayern Munich, where he found his luck but just as little as the black and yellow, which he joined in 2016. Many injuries had thrown him back again and again. He was all the more positive in the context of the Florida Cup in the test matches against Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. So it looks like he’s ready for the Bundesliga again.
Although Adi Hütter did not look into the charts, it is well known that he does not shy away from courageous decisions. Also in view of the fact that next to Gacinovic is a question mark (muscular problems), so Rode could actually be a man for the starting eleven – but at least for a Joker use. This makes the SBU a little harder to calculate. With 34 first-round goals and the offensive trio Haller, Jovic and Rebic speaks a lot for a prelude to measure. But at Frankfurt against Freiburg for the forecast is not completely incessant just the fact that the reigning DFB Cup winner before the winter break at home with 0: 3 against Bayern. It was already the third home defeat in the Bundesliga in the eighth home game.
Best scorers in the league:
Luka Jovic (12 goals)
Sébastian Haller (9 goals)
Expected formation of Frankfurt:
Trapp – N’Dicka – Hasebe – Abraham – Fernandes – de Guzmán – Kostic – da Costa – Rebic – Jovic – Haller

Freiburg – Statistics & Current Form
For the Freiburg it is also about getting back on track. Although the Black Forest on the last day before the winter break with a 1-0 away win in Nuremberg said goodbye and were allowed to spend a merry Christmas as eleventh of the first round table. In the eight competitive matches before, however, only one more victory was booked. In the home games against Mainz (1: 3) and Hannover (1: 1) and away at Fortuna Dusseldorf (0: 2) were in the meantime left a number of points against relegation-threatened teams. Results, which also point out that the gaze basically has to go downwards.
Nevertheless, the Baden-Wurttemberg would be with an away win in Frankfurt abruptly again in range of Europa League places to which the gap could be shortened to up to three points, but vice versa could increase to up to nine in defeat. Talking about a groundbreaking game makes as much sense as the request of Christian Streich to courageously want to perform in Frankfurt. It will also arrive on goalgetter Luca Waldschmidt, who returns here to his youth club. For six years he wore the eagle on the jersey for six years. No question: for the 22-year-old, another goal would be a matter of the heart. And then there would still be the point that in Frankfurt against Freiburg in the forecast can not be forgotten that the SBU is such a kind of favorite opponent of the sports club …
