Coach’s view: Frankfurt

Oliver Glasner: “Freiburg are competing for the Champions League and we want to make the most of our small chance [of qualifying for Europe via the league table]. We’re unbeaten at Deutsche Bank Park in the league and cup in 2023. Our goal is to win our final home game.”

Coach’s view: Freiburg

Christian Streich: "We need to focus on our own game. We want to produce a good performance in Frankfurt and try to win. If Union Berlin also win their game, then so be it. We’d then be four goals short of the team that finishes fourth in the Bundesliga. I can live with that. We've got big ambitions to play well. It'll be tough in Frankfurt, like always. I've got big expectations of the players."

Watch: Decision Day at Both Ends

The title, Europe, relegation – there’s still so much left to be decided at both ends of the table on the final day of the Bundesliga season.
camera-photo

Frankfurt: personnel

Coach Oliver Glasner takes charge of his final home game as Frankfurt boss. It will also be the last for a few players, including Daichi Kamada (pictured) and Almamy Toure, and potentially also Evan N’Dicka. All three are set to start, while Jesper Lindstrom is also pushing for a spot as he seeks full fitness ahead of next week’s DFB Cup final. Kristijan Jakic and Philipp Max - whose loan deal was made permanent on Friday - are back in training and could be options again, but captain Sebastian Rode has struggled with an ankle problem all week.

Frankfurt: form

A 2-2 draw at relegation scrappers Schalke last week keeps Frankfurt’s hopes of European qualification alive, but they will need to win here for a chance of that to happen via the league. They could also earn a UEFA Europa League spot by winning the DFB Cup next week against Leipzig. Their form has been patchy throughout 2023, including just one win in their last 13 Bundesliga games. But they are unbeaten at home in nine going back to October.

Freiburg: personnel

Christian Streich made some surprise moves last week with the inclusion of Kenneth Schmidt and Noah Weißhaupt in the starting XI against Wolfsburg, but the likes of Lukas Kübler and captain Christian Günter (pictured) are set to be restored. The latter scored off the bench alongside Bundesliga record super-sub Nils Petersen, with this his last game for the club. It could also be the last for Mark Flekken. Noah Atubolu may have started if this was a dead rubber ahead of taking over as first choice next season. Nicolas Höfler serves a one-game ban for a red card.

Freiburg: form

A maiden UEFA Champions League qualification is so tantalisingly close for Freiburg as they look to cap off a brilliant campaign. Victory over Wolfsburg last week assures them of fifth place and keeps them in the running for fourth, only behind Union Berlin on goal difference after losing 4-2 against them a fortnight ago. A win, loss or draw could be enough for the Black Forest club depending on Union’s result against Werder Bremen.

Tuta and Daichi Kamada scored as Frankfurt got goals in between early and late Schalke strikes at the Veltins-Arena.

Set-piece kings

Freiburg’s 21 goals from dead balls this season is the most in the division.

Happy travellers

Freiburg have amassed 25 points on the road already this season. The only time they’ve had more away from home in the Bundesliga under Streich was last term (26).

But it could be even more historic…

Freiburg are only outside the top four on goal difference behind Union Berlin. The right set of results here could therefore see them qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time ever.

Historic regardless

Starting the day on 59 points, this is already Freiburg’s best-ever season under Christian Streich and the second-best in their Bundesliga history, having finished third with 66 (using three points for a win) under Volker Finke in their second top-flight campaign (1994/95).

Glasner bows out

Oliver Glasner takes charge of Frankfurt for the final time in the Bundesliga. His side are currently on 47 points, having earned 42 (and the UEFA Europa League title) in his first campaign. His last game will be next week’s DFB Cup final in Berlin.

Only a win will do

Frankfurt simply have to win this game if they are to have a chance of finishing higher than eighth. Their final position and whether they win the DFB Cup will determine whether seventh place earns European qualification.

History on hosts’ side

Frankfurt have lost only one of their last six league encounters with Freiburg, although that was here last season (2-1).

Frankfurt’s run at home

Eintracht are unbeaten in their last nine Bundesliga games at Deutsche Bank Park (five wins, four draws).
