This is inarguably the most high-stakes game in the Bundesliga on its final day.
Freiburg come into this fixture in fine form, unbeaten in their last four matches and boasting a strong home record, averaging 1.89 goals per game. Frankfurt, despite their superior goal difference of +20 compared to Freiburg’s -2, have struggled on the road, failing to score in four of their 16 away matches this season. The hosts will aim to capitalise on their attacking consistency, having found the net in nine consecutive games, while Frankfurt must overcome their away-day struggles to maintain their edge in the standings.
Historically, Frankfurt have dominated this rivalry, winning 19 of the last 46 meetings. Freiburg, however, have failed to beat Frankfurt in their previous five Bundesliga encounters, with their last home victory against them coming in 2019.

For Freiburg, this is not just about ending a winless streak but also about cementing their place among Germany’s elite.
Key players are likely to determine the outcome. Freiburg’s Ritsu Doan and Vincenzo Grifo, who have combined for 19 goals and 10 assists, will look to unlock Frankfurt’s defence. Meanwhile, Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, the league’s third-highest scorer with 15 goals, and Nathaniel Brown, with eight assists, will spearhead their attack. With European ambitions on the line, this promises to be a thrilling showdown packed with drama, intensity, and top-quality football.
