Eintracht Frankfurt was the biggest winner in the previous round of action in Germany’s Bundesliga. The reigning Europa League holders moved up to second in the standings with victory in their first game after the winter break. The visitors could close the gap on Bayern Munich to two points with victory on Wednesday.
However, they will face a stern test against Freiburg this week if they are to stretch their unbeaten run in the league to five matches this week.

Last Game Record
This is the first meeting between the sides this season. However, Eintracht Frankfurt has won two of the previous four trips to Freiburg. That is as many victories as they had recorded on their 13 trips before the start of the run. Over the same period, Freiburg has recorded just a single home fixture against Frankfurt.
Since Freiburg was promoted to the Bundesliga in 1993, Frankfurt has only recorded more wins against Leverkusen than the hosts this week. Meanwhile, Freiburg has picked up just a single victory from the previous five Bundesliga home fixtures against Frankfurt. Interestingly, there have only been seven draws from the previous 36 top-flight meetings between these sides.
SC Freiburg vs. Eintracht Frankfurt Analysis
Few could have predicted that Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt would both come into this fixture at the end of January, occupying spots in the Champions League spots. Eintracht Frankfurt has been in excellent form in recent months, and they could sit just two points off the top of the standings with victory on Wednesday.
The Eintracht Frankfurt odds for victory will be shorter than many expected, as they come into this game looking for a fourth win in five. They returned to domestic action following the winter break in excellent form, as they claimed a straightforward 3-0 win over Schalke. Rafael Santos Borre Maury continued his excellent form throughout the season with the second goal in that home win.
Strange Resumption to the Season
It was an extremely strange resumption to the season for Freiburg. Before the restart, they had suffered just three defeats all season and had the second-best defensive record in the Bundesliga. However, they were stunned on Saturday, losing 6-0 on the road against Wolfsburg. Freiburg managed just a single shot on target in that heavy defeat, which was their biggest since September 2011.
The loss dominated the SC Freiburg news channels, as fans questioned whether the result would be detrimental to the remainder of the season. However, it isn’t out of the question that they return to winning ways on Wednesday, and that is evident in the Freiburg vs Frankfurt bet markets. To this point, they are yet to suffer back-to-back defeats in the league.
Frankfurt has no fresh injury concerns ahead of this fixture, with Luca Pellegrini likely to return over the weekend. Meanwhile, Freiburg will be without forwards Vincenzo Grifo and Roland Sallai. Grifo’s absence is likely to be key for Freiburg, as he has already netted five times in the Bundesliga this term.

SC Freiburg vs. Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Pick and Prediction
Making a Freiburg vs Frankfurt bet prediction looks tricky, as both sides have fine attacking quality. Therefore, over 2.5 goals look to be an extremely safe play for the soccer picks for the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Frankfurt’s excellent record against Freiburg also provides an exciting betting angle.
We expect them to get the victory after winning 15 from the previous 36 against Freiburg. But, a wager on the spread doesn’t look the most valuable. Therefore, we will be taking Eintracht Frankfurt on the moneyline for this fixture on Wednesday as they search to stretch their unbeaten record to five in Germany’s top division.
Pick 1: Eintracht Frankfurt (+170)
Pick 2: Over 2.5 Goals (-138)
