On Sunday afternoon, two of the leading contenders for top-six spots in the Bundesliga, Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt, meet at the Europa Park Stadion.
A poor run hampering Freiburg’s top-six bidThe team from the Black Forest have done their hopes of landing a European spot no favours of late, as they have lost their last three games in the German top-flight, having conceded three goals in each of the defeats.
Christian Streich’s team at least stopped the rot on Thursday night in the Europa League as they drew 0-0 with Lens.
Freiburg’s recent Bundesliga games may have produced disappointing results, but they have at least seen goals with over 2.5 goals in five of their last six matches in the German top flight.
The home team saw a seven-game unbeaten run at the Europa Park Stadion in the Bundesliga ended last time out with a 3-1 loss against Stuttgart.
Frankfurt drew with Union Saint-Gilloise last time outIn their previous outing, the Eagles drew 2-2 at Belgian team Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa Conference League. The result means that Dino Toppmoller’s team has won just once in their last five games in all competitions.
Frankfurt’s recent record in the German top flight has been poor of late, as they have won just one of their previous four games in the Bundesliga.
Despite the visitor’s recent mixed form in the Bundesliga, they are still in sixth place in the table, four points clear of their seventh-place opponents.
Frankfurt have been poor on their travels in the Bundesliga, winning just one of their last six matches.
Their recent away matches in the German top flight have certainly delivered on goals, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight Bundesliga games.
What am I backing?This game could be vital in the fight for the European spots in the Bundesliga. However, both teams have been on poor runs of form of late. The bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored, as both teams have been in high-scoring games recently.
