SC Freiburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt

This fixture is SC Freiburg’s 850th Bundesliga match. They have only won one of their last 10 top-flight meetings with Eintracht Frankfurt (2-1 A in April 2022) and are winless in their last five (D3, L2), their longest ever wait for victory against the Eagles.

SC Freiburg have picked up 13 of a possible 15 points over the last five matchdays, a joint league high together with Borussia Dortmund. Eintracht Frankfurt have also remained unbeaten during this period (W2, D3), conceding the joint-fewest goals in the league (3, same as Werder).

A win would earn SC Freiburg their joint-highest finish in the Bundesliga (3rd, only previously in 1994/95). Freiburg could become the first team ever to finish in the top four with a negative goal difference and would be the 16th different German side to qualify for the Champions League – this would extend the record for a nation.

Eintracht Frankfurt could finish third to equal their highest-ever finish in the Bundesliga, most recently coming third in 1992/93. The Eagles can qualify for the Champions League via their league position for the first time – they took part in the UCL in 2022/23 after winning the Europa League.

Eintracht Frankfurt, currently in third place, are three points ahead of fifth going into the final matchday. Since the introduction of three points per win, no side has ever blown as big an advantage over fifth place on the last day. Since 2011/12, only Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2018/19 have dropped out of the top four on the final matchday (were level on points with Bayer Leverkusen going into MD34).
