Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Freiburg in 8th and Schalke 04 in 11th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Freiburg can neither be promoted or relegated from Bundesliga. Schalke is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

8 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Freiburg have to build on here at Schwarzwald-Stadion in the Bundesliga. Two home wins in a row for Freiburg bring valid hopes of a third.

Schalke 04 form and stats
4 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Schalke 04 playing as the away team in the Bundesliga this season. Schalke are desperate to end a 15-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Borussia M'gladbach fixture. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
