Freiburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2020-21

Freiburg host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Schwarzwald-Stadion on Wednesday, as they look to bounce back from a defeat against Bayern Munich in their last game.

Freiburg are still well-placed in the Bundesliga standings. They are in ninth position, with 23 points in 16 games so far. They also put in a creditable performance in their last match against Bayern.

Nils Petersen had equalised after an early Robert Lewandowski goal, before Thomas Muller scored the winner for Bayern.

#Streich: „Wir haben alles getan, auch nach dem 2:1. leider haben wir es nicht mehr geschafft, das zweite Tor zu machen. Das 2:2 wäre nicht unverdient gewesen - aber das 2:1 für Bayern geht auch in Ordnung.“

Eintracht Frankfurt were boosted in their last game by the return of Luka Jovic, who is back for his second stint at the club after a tough time at Real Madrid.

Jovic scored twice in the second half in their last game against Schalke, as Frankfurt eventually picked up a 3-1 win against the strugglers.
