Europa-Park Stadion will host Freiburg and Schalke in what promises to be an intriguing Bundesliga encounter, with the hosts enjoying a splendid start to the season. Freiburg have picked up three wins and a draw from their opening four league games, including a 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt before the international break. Julian Schuster has a full squad to choose from, with forward Derry Scherhant back from international duty. Freiburg have also won 83% of their last six home matches, scoring 3.17 goals per game during that run.
Schalke, meanwhile, played out a goalless draw with Elversberg on Matchday 4 but remain unbeaten in their last three Bundesliga games. Die Knappen have been particularly impressive away from home, winning five of their last six road matches while averaging 3.17 goals per game. Midfielder Dejan Ljubicic should be the only absentee, leaving Schalke with a strong squad as they look to continue their impressive away form.
Freiburg have turned their stadium into a real fortress and given their splendid start to the season, Home Win should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Freiburg Over 1.5 (Freiburg’s 4.33-goal home average supports this).
This Bundesliga match will be played on Sunday 11 October 2026 at 16:30.
