Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt go head to head at Europa-Park Stadion in the Bundesliga round 12. Freiburg aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munchen, with the team looking to extend their unbeaten run at home to six games. All Nico Schlotterbeck, Nils Petersen, Roland Sallai, and Jonathan Schmid are out of contention through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team ahead of the visit of Eintracht. Die Adler have been performing below expectations in the 2021/2022 season, with the team sitting in the danger zone ahead of Matchday 12.
Eintracht did well to beat Greuther Furth before the international break, but defeating Freiburg on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Europa-Park Stadion, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. A man to watch in the away side will be Filip Kostic, who will represent Serbia at the 2022 World Cup finals. Goncalo Paciencia and Christopher Lenz should be the only absentees in the away side.
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.
