Top of the table clash awaits at Deutsche Bank Park
Die Adler will be looking to improve on their four points from three matches when they welcome SC Freiburg to Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday afternoon, but it won't be an easy task for Adolf Huetter's men.
Freiburg have been flawless in all current competitions with five consecutive wins and will be very happy to be top of the Bundesliga 2026-2027 with nine points after three games. Their 5-0 thrashing of Borussia Monchengladbach at home and their 1-0 win at Paderborn were both emphatic victories that show the direction in which the club are heading under Julian Schuster.
While Frankfurt have also started well, they have only won two of their last five matches (1 draw, 2 defeats) and their home form is a little shaky so far. Frankfurt will be hoping to avoid a second loss on home turf in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 by overcoming a Freiburg side who have made a rapid start on the road.
Schuster’s Freiburg can be a very effective team
Schuster's side have won their only away game to date and have averaged 1.00 goals per game on their travels in the Bundesliga 2026/2027. Yuito Suzuki has been Freiburg's leading scorer in the Bundesliga with three goals in two games, so he is the obvious choice to finish off any of Freiburg's numerous chances in this clash.
Huetter's return to Frankfurt has brought them back towards a much quicker game that is based on the wings, aggressive counter-pressing and vertical transitions. But Freiburg's structure-first system is compact, disciplined in terms of block and pressing triggers and very clean in their transitions. That should lead to a chess match between the pair, with Frankfurt attempting to stretch the game and Freiburg looking to condense the space and punish over-commitment.
Eagles are on the up with Burkardt in fine form
With five straight wins on the board, Freiburg are the form pick to win this game, but Frankfurt's head-to-head advantage, particularly at home, keeps the hosts in the picture. The odds also edge Frankfurt at 5/4, but Freiburg at 91/50 is the selection for this early season clash, which should be tight, lively and full of goals.
Over 2.5 goals at 53/100 appeals in this matchup of the Bundesliga's two most attack-minded clubs, while BTTS Yes at 9/20 also looks a solid option given the players at both sides' disposal. Jonathan Burkardt has four of Frankfurt's 11 goals in their last five games in all comps and looks a good choice to get on the scoresheet this weekend, so back Die Adler to continue their mixed start to the season.
