The action continues in round 17 of German Bundesliga as Eintracht Frankfurt and Freiburg square off at the Deutsche Bank Park on Tuesday. Dino Toppmoller’s men head into the game unbeaten in the last four league meetings between the two teams and will be looking to extend this solid run.
Omar Marmoush grabbed the headlines for Eintracht Frankfurt once again as he netted the only goal of the game to hand them a 1-0 victory over St. Pauli last Saturday.
This was a much-needed respite for Toppmoller’s side, who were on a three-game losing streak and had failed to win their previous five outings across all competitions since December 4.
Eintracht Frankfurt have picked up 30 points from their 16 Bundesliga games to sit third in the league table, level on points with fourth-placed RB Leipzig.
Elsewhere, Freiburg spared their blushes last weekend when they held on for a 3-2 victory over Holstein Kiel after conceding twice in the final five minutes of the contest.
Julian Schuster’s men have won two of their most recent three games — with a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen on December 21 sandwiched between the two victories.
With 27 points from 16 matches, Freiburg are currently sixth in the Bundesliga table and could move level on points with Tuesday’s hosts with a win at the Deutsche Bank Park.
