THE LOWDOWN
RACE TO EUROPE HEATING UP FOR FREIBURG
Despite a significant dip in Freiburg’s results of late, other teams failing to win around them sees Christian Streich’s men still in a good spot to finish inside the top seven and potentially even sixth-spot depending on the fortunes of Eintracht Frankfurt.
They’ll need to significantly improve on their showing against FC Cologne, where they were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw. This following them only taking a point from their last two Bundesliga fixtures at home vs Mainz and Wolfsburg respectively.
HEIDENHEIM BASK IN MID-TABLE STABILITY
If you’d told Heidenheim fans are the start of the season that come the penultimate round of Bundesliga fixtures, their newly promoted side would be sat in tenth-place with 38 points to their name, those fans would have been beside themselves with glee. Well, that dream is now a reality in what has been a wonder maiden season in the German top flight.
A recent improvement in results is key to Heidenheim having maintained their lofty status, losing just one of their last five games. They won’t be easy to beat here for Freiburg and the hosts needing three points in their European race may well end up benefitting the visitors.

UNAVAILABLE: Keller (Injured), Kleindienst (Suspended), Qenaj (Injured), Busch (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Maloney (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Freiburg’s need for three points here should see them really try to take the game to Heidenheim offensively, getting men forward at every opportunity. They’ll likely dominate most of the play, but it would be no surprise if Heidenheim are afforded chances at the other end of the pitch with extra space inside the opposition half. A see-saw battle could be in the offing and backing both teams to score appears a shrewd move.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
