On matchday 1 of the new Bundesliga season 2018/19 the match between SC Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt takes place in the Black Forest Stadium. Both teams did not shine with fame last weekend in the first DFB Cup round. Freiburg was up to the 91st minute 0: 1 at third division Energie Cottbus behind. In the end, the Breisgauer could save themselves on penalties and there but still move into the next round. Even worse, it caught the SBU: As defending champion Eintracht retired at the start of the new cup season with 1: 2 at the division all-Ulm. This was for the Hesse already the second bitter defeat in the new season after the 0: 5 in the Supercup against Bayern. Now, SCF should have a good start at least in the league. But for five games, the sports club is unbeaten against Frankfurt. Of the last nine matches against the Breisgauer Eintracht could win only one. In 14 competitive games against Freiburg, there were only three victories. Seven times you went as a loser from the square. The betting base looks for the opening match of the new Bundesliga season between Freiburg and Frankfurt on the betting odds and reveals in their tip the best bets to the game.
Freiburg:
After a 15th place and relegation to the last push in the preseason, the view in Breisgau for the new season to go back up. So far, one had to cope with Caglar Söyüncü (for 21 million euros to Leicester City) only the departure of a service provider. In addition, ex-captain Julian Schuster ended his career and Karim Guedé moved to Sandhausen. The squad was reinforced with players like Dominique Heintz (1st FC Cologne), Luca Waldschmidt (HSV) and Jerome Gondorf (Bremen).
In the cup, the Breisgauer earned, as so often in the preseason despite playful superiority too few clear scoring opportunities. On the other hand, the Freiburg showed up with a great morality. Coach Christian Streich was generally satisfied with the first competitive appearance of his team. They turned the game. The progress will give new self-confidence. Absence will be at the start of the season Amir Abrashi, Brandon Borello, Janik Haberer, Yoric Ravet and Caleb Stanko. Freiburg has won the last two home games. Before that, there were three humps in a row. In the last season, the Breisgauer got 27 of their 36 seasonal points at home. A home win against Freiburg for Frankfurt yielded slightly higher betting odds than winners of the away win.
Frankfurt:
The first two competitive games of the new season have shown it: Eintracht is facing a difficult year. In Frankfurt you not only have to cope with the departure of successful coach Niko Kovac, but in the future also without regular players such as Kevin-Prince Boateng, Marius Wolf, Omar Mascarell and Lukas Hradecky get along. After all, you could hold Vice World Champion Ante Rebic. With new entrants such as Evan Ndicka, Lucas Torro, Allan, Francisco Geraldes and Goncalo Paciencia could be the squad at first glance only broadened and unsustainable strengthen. The two new keeper Frederik Rönnow and Felix Wiedwald have so far shown weaknesses. The start with the first two competitive matches has been quite wrong. After the 0: 5 at home against Bayern in the Supercup flew for the first time since 1996, the reigning cup winner in the first round out.
The euphoria after the 3-1 win over Bayern in the DFB Cup final just over three months ago seems to have vanished. The team has not yet internalized the newer coach Adi Hütter demanded offensive game system with higher pressing. Against Ulm, the team tried only with long balls on the outside. In addition many mistakes and many players came under normal form. During the week, the SGE responded to the bad start by signing Filip Kostic from Hamburger SV. The Serbian national player is initially borrowed, Eintracht has a purchase option. For new signing Lucas Torro the locked in the cup Gelson Fernandes against Freiburg come on. Ante Rebic could barely train for foot and adductor problems so far. Its use is very questionable.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.72
