Eintracht Frankfurt vs SC Freiburg

Eintracht Frankfurt enter this fixture following a win at FSV Mainz 05 on September 12, having previously suffered a home defeat to FC Augsburg and a draw against Union Berlin in Bundesliga play. Over their three matches with available player statistics, Y. Ebnoutalib leads the side with three goals and one assist, while goalkeeper N. Atubolu has recorded sixteen saves. The side, which lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation under A. Hütter in their latest outing, has struggled for control, being about even on the ball. Conversely, SC Freiburg arrive in excellent form, having won all six of their listed matches, including a five-goal victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach on September 12. Their attack has been clinical, led by I. Matanović with six goals and three assists, supported by goalkeeper M. Backhaus who has conceded four times across the six matches. Operating in a 4-2-3-1 set-up under J. Schuster, the side has maintained slightly more of the ball.

History between the two sides has heavily favoured Eintracht Frankfurt. The hosts have won three of the four most recent meetings, including a victory in March 2026, while the remaining encounter ended in a draw.

• Eintracht Frankfurt are without J. Maluze and J. Ngankam, two of the three players reported out or in doubt.
• I. Matanović has provided six goals and three assists for SC Freiburg over the listed matches.
• Y. Ebnoutalib has contributed three goals and one assist for Eintracht Frankfurt over the listed matches.
• SC Freiburg have outshot their opponents significantly over the listed matches, averaging twenty-one shots to their opponents' seven.

SC Freiburg enter this match in dominant form, sitting at the top of the league table and boasting a perfect record across their recent outings. With I. Matanović contributing six goals over the listed matches, they look well-equipped to test the Eintracht Frankfurt defence. While Eintracht Frankfurt have historically held the edge in meetings between the pair, their recent form with Y. Ebnoutalib, who has three goals over the listed matches, has been inconsistent, leaving the visitors better placed.
