Predicted XI (3-4-3): Trapp; Collins, Koch, Theate; Kristensen, Skhiri, Gotze, Brown; Larsson, Marmoush, Ekitike

Unavailable: Amenda (Injured), Bahoya (Injured), Wenig (Injured), Loune (Injured)

Freiburg Team News: Lienhart illness

There is quite a bit of illness going around the Bundesliga at the moment and Austria international defender Philipp Lienhart missed the weekend due to illness for Freiburg.

Aside from Lienhart, Freiburg have no fresh injury concerns so will be able to name an unchanged eleven for this one, albeit Daniel-Kofi Kyereh remains sidelined through injury.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Atubolu; Kubler, Ginter, Rosenfelder, Gunter; Eggestein, Rohl; Doan, Dinkci, Grifo; Holer

Unavailable: Kyereh (Injured)

Questionable: Lienhart (Illness)

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Freiburg Prediction

Eintracht Frankfurt, as mentioned, edged past an impressive and competitive St Pauli by a goal to nil in Hamburg at the weekend. Likely departure Omar Marmoush notched the only goal of that game. They now face a Freiburg side that overcame struggling Holstein Kiel by three goals to two at SC Stadion. Frankfurt have an abundance of quality in attack and will hope Marmoush will remain for Tuesday as his farewell and, if that is the case which appears to be so, a home win would appear the likeliest outcome, albeit it should be quite entertaining for the neutral.
