Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Following an embarrassing 6-0 loss at Wolfsburg, Freiburg will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 17. Christian Streich’s men did not kick off 2023 in style, but they are surely capable of matching die Adler in front of home fans. Both Holer and Lienhart are pushing for a start, while important attacker Vincenzo Grifo is a major doubt.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to beat struggling Schalke 3-0, but defeating Freiburg at Europa-Park Stadion is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Eric Ebimbe, Luca Pellegrini, Tuta, and Marcel Wenig are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away side. In their last meeting in the German top flight Freiburg defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Nils Petersen):
Son to a football coach, Andreas, the Freiburg striker Nils Petersen is a physical forward best known for his clinical finishing. A former Bayern Munich striker never got a chance to prove his worth with Bundesliga giants and had to take a long road to prominence which included loan spells at Werder Bremen and Freiburg, before penning a permanent deal with Die Breisaguer in 2015.
Petersen’s impressive exploits during the 2017/18 season helped him get into Germany’s provisional FIFA World Cup 2018 squad although his father Andreas would argue it was his personal influence that helped Joachim Loew write his son’s name in the 23-man list. Namely, Andres Piteresen spotted the Germany manager on a beach in January and decided to ask him about his son’s chances of making it into Germany World Cup squad.
Piteresen was rewarded with his senior Germany cap in an Austria friendly but unfortunately for his father missed out on the final squad for the tournament in Russia.
