The Bundesliga makes its return this weekend and will see Eintracht Frankfurt host Freiburg at the Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday afternoon.
Eintracht Frankfurt played out a goalless draw against last-placed Greuther Furth in their last league game. They perhaps deserved more from the game but were met by resolute defending from their relegation-threatened opponents.
The home team sit ninth in the Bundesliga table with 39 points from 28 games. They will be aiming to return to winning ways this weekend as they continue their push for Europe.
Freiburg have struggled for form of late. They were beaten 4-1 by league leaders Bayern Munich in their last game and were fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin as they were run ragged by their opponents.
Freiburg sit fifth in the league standings with 45 points from 28 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and resume their quest for Champions League football.
