Freiburg-Schalke is a match of the 29th day of Bundesliga and is played on Sunday at 3:30pm: TV, formations, predictions.
The hosts for the Champions League, also dreaming of a Union Berlin misstep; the guests for salvation. Certainly, in this match of the 29th round of the German league, there will be no shortage of motivation.
Yes, Freiburg, now fifth and thus out of Europe’s top competition, dreams of overtaking. Or at least dreams of staying hooked on the train that could take it into the top four of the Bundesliga at the end of the season. And against Schalke, in second-last place in the standings and fighting not to relegate, for the Bianconeri who were eliminated from the Europa League, in the round of 16, by Juventus, the task should not be so arduous. On paper, there should be no match for a variety of reasons. The first, the main one, is precisely the standings that feature these two formations that will fight practically until the last day to try to achieve their goals.
And then there are the precedents between these two teams: in the last five crossings there have come four victories by Freiburg and only one by the visiting team, which, indeed, dates back to 2017. A curiosity, always keeping this time frame in mind: never has the match seen both teams score. May this not be the time to change this trend as well?

The Prediction
Then, let’s start with one fact: Freiburg should have no problem winning this match and, in the worst case scenario, remain in sixth place in the standings attached, however, to Leipzig and Union Berlin who will fight until the end for a place in the next Champions League. Then, as mentioned, tease the idea of the possibility that both formations can find the way to the net in this match since, in the last five crossings, it has never happened.
