Schalke vs SC Freiburg Prediction: Freiburg to win to aid their push for Champions League football

Even though Freiburg are competing in various competitions, they are in a respectable league position and on course to play in the champions league next season. For this to be a reality, SC Freiburg needs to have some consistency in winning games. The match against the team in the bottom position should allow them to return to winning ways. 

Schalke is hoping to avoid defeat against the third-placed team in the Bundesliga. With a run of five defeats, Schalke will be hoping to tighten things up and get at least a draw. Will they be able to win is another question altogether.

SC Freiburg have lost some momentum after losing to Bayern Munich. However, they can get back to winning ways with the game against Schalke. The attacking potential of Freiburg makes them the favourite. 

Thirty-four matches have been so far between these teams with Freiburg winning 14, Schalke winning 12, and 8 ending in a draw. However, the last time Schalke won against Freiburg was in November 2017. Since then, Schalke have drawn one and lost 6 of the seven matches played. 

• Schalke: Leo Greiml, Rodrigo Zalazar, Sepp van den Berg, Marcin Kaminski, Ibrahima Cisse;
• SC Freiburg: Roland Sallai, Manuel Gulde, Kimberly Ezekwem, Jonathan Schmid

• Schalke have not won in the last 5 matches between these teams;
• A red card has been shown in the last two matches Freiburg has played.
