Frankfurt vs Freiburg Prediction 1 March 2026
🔊 In Frankfurt, two neighboring teams in the standings, both still mathematically in contention for European competitions, will face off. However, a loss could make this goal nearly unattainable for one of them. Eintracht host Freiburg in the 24th round at Deutsche Bank Park and aim to surpass their rivals by the end of the weekend. Our editorial team anticipates a high-scoring match, drawing on the history of their head-to-head clashes, including the first-leg game of the current season.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round at Europa-Park, the teams played to a 2-2 draw. Derry Scherhant put the "Brazilians of Breisgau" ahead, but a brace from Jonathan Burkardt turned the game around before halftime. Vincenzo Grifo equalized in the final minutes.
Head-to-head statistics Frankfurt - Freiburg
Eintracht Frankfurt Team Overview
🔴 After drawing with Union Berlin (1-1) and securing a victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-0), Eintracht suffered a defeat to Bayern Munich (2-3) last weekend. This marked Albert Riera's first loss as the head coach of the Eagles. The team was trailing by three goals but managed to narrow the gap with goals from Burkardt (via penalty) and Arnaud Kalimuendo, thus avoiding a rout.
⚪ Currently, the Eagles trail Freiburg by two points. Jonathan Burkardt, who recently returned after a long layoff, has scored four goals against Freiburg in his career-more than against any other team. Two of those goals came in the first round of the current season.

Freiburg Team Overview
⚪ Freiburg have bounced back from their defeat to Hoffenheim (0-3) with a victory over struggling Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-1). Matthias Ginter found the net against his former club, while Igor Matanović doubled the lead in the second half. A win in this round could bring Freiburg within three points of the European competition spots.
⚫ This season, Julian Schuster's side are particularly dangerous from set pieces. They've scored 16 goals from free-kicks-only Bayern have more. In comparison, Eintracht have netted nine such goals. The presence of Vincenzo Grifo makes the "Brazilians of Breisgau" even more threatening during set plays.

Eintracht Frankfurt
🎙️ Current Eintracht player Ritsu Doan, who made the summer switch from Freiburg, shared his thoughts on the upcoming clash: "It's always a pleasure to meet former teammates - whether players, coaches, or staff. Just like last season, both teams are neck and neck in the standings, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the match. But now I'm with Eintracht and I'm eager for a win. We need those three points."
❌ The injury list for the Eagles shows no signs of shrinking. The team will be without Can Uzun, Robert Koch, Andreas Christensen, Ansgar Knauff, Younes Ait-Nouri, Michy Batshuayi, and Arthur Theate.
Freiburg
🎙️ Julian Schuster on the team's character: "This is a special group of players. Even if someone is disappointed, like when they're not in the starting lineup, they still give their all for the team and support their teammates, even if they're competing for the same position. Experienced players are especially valuable because they can pass on their knowledge to the younger ones, provided they're open to it."
❌ Jan-Niklas Beste will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Johan Manzambi is also unavailable as he serves a suspension following his red card in the 21st round. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is not ready for the match. Lukas Kübler, Philipp Lienhart, and Max Rosenfelder are sidelined with injuries.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Christian Dingert has been appointed as the main referee for the encounter in Frankfurt. In his last 10 matches, he averages around four yellow cards per game. Over 23 rounds, Eintracht have received 40 yellow cards (averaging 1.7 per match), while Freiburg have picked up 33 (1.4 per match). Given these stats, considering the over 3.5 yellow cards market seems reasonable - this bet has hit in 6 of Eintracht's last 7 home games.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Eintracht's form this season has been inconsistent regardless of venue. Freiburg are solid at home but struggle significantly on the road, with just two wins in 12 league matches. Taking this into account, a goal exchange is anticipated. The bet both teams to score (yes) has been successful in 7 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings and in 8 of Eintracht's last 9 matches.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average corner stats for both teams are nearly identical: 4.3 for Eintracht and 4.4 for Freiburg. Both clubs favor an attacking style, as evidenced by their head-to-head encounters. We expect a high number of set-pieces and are considering a bet on over 8.5 corners - this has come through in 4 of Eintracht's last 5 Bundesliga matches.
Editor's Prediction
Both teams are desperate for a win, but Eintracht seem to have the edge, largely due to Freiburg's poor away form. However, the Eagles' defense is far from perfect, having conceded 49 goals-matching Wolfsburg and only surpassed by Heidenheim (51). Considering these factors, we anticipate a high-scoring affair with goals at both ends. Our prediction is over 2.5 goals, which has occurred in six of the last seven head-to-head meetings in Frankfurt. A repeat of the first-leg scoreline, a 2-2 draw, is not out of the question.
