The final Bundesliga matchday will be pivotal in determining how the battle for the remaining two UCL spots will be distributed. There will be 2 key matches to follow closely, and Freiburg versus Eintracht is one of them. Third against fourth, with the gap being them and 5th-placed Dortmund being minimal.
SC Freiburg Team News
Freiburg’s dream of a first-ever UCL qualification is on the line here. The team currently occupies the 4th and final UCL spot, but with a very tough game on the last matchday against Eintracht and a revitalised Borussia Dortmund breathing down their necks, there is only 1 option here – win. Julian Schuster’s men are in fine form, having been undefeated in their last 5 consecutive Bundesliga fixtures. While this run has been clutch in their top 4 bid, a closer look at Freiburg’s home fixtures reveals just 1 win from their last 5 league matches as hosts. Additionally, Freiburg seems to be involved in high-scoring affairs, as 7 of their last 8 matches produced over 2.5 goals, with both Freiburg and their opponents scoring.
Eintracht Frankfurt Team News
Eintracht will head south after failing to book their UCL ticket last week in a surprising 2-2 home draw against St. Pauli. In contrast to Freiburg, Eintracht will only need a point here to secure a top 4 finish. Yet, despite the need for just a point, Dino Toppmöller’s team isn’t recording the best of results in recent weeks. Despite being undefeated in their last 5 Bundesliga matches, the Eagles have won just 2 of them, with both of these wins coming at home. Eintracht also failed to keep a clean sheet in 2 of their most recent fixtures. Their matches also tend to be on the higher-scoring side, with 3 of their last 5 passing the 2.5 goal mark.
Head-to-Head-Games
Freiburg have recorded no wins over Eintracht Frankfurt in any of the last 5 H2H encounters between the two. The Eagles have 2 victories to their name, with the remaining 3 games ending in stalemates. Three of the games in this sequence produced over 2.5 goals, while 4 saw both teams score. The 2 most recent meetings between these two teams produced a lot of goals coming from both sides.

SC Freiburg – Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Prediction
Since this will be one of the most important games in the top 4 race, I expect goals here. That is why my pick is for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score. Freiburg require nothing short of a win here. Eintracht need just a point, but their recent form could see them break a sweat here. H2H encounters between the two also heavily favour such an outcome, as do their recent results. With the favourable circumstances and statistics both teams possess, going for over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring looks like a good deal here.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams To Score: Yes
