Schalke at Freiburg 6/27/2020 - Bundesliga Picks & Predictions

Two teams with nothing to play for will lock horns in the final Match-day of the Bundesliga, when Freiburg will play host to Schalke on Saturday. Freiburg just missed a chance for a top-seven finish, while Schalke have been terrible in the second half of the season and are stuck at the middle of the league table.

Freiburg (12-12-9) fought really hard in their away match against Bayern Munich last week, but despite scoring a first-half goal, they were defeated by 1-3. That loss destroyed any chance they had for a top-seven finish, and they will now finish at the 8th spot of the league table no matter what happens in this match. Freiburg have a 8-6-2 record at home so far, scoring 19 goals and conceding 17 in the process. They have won three of their last five there (3-2-0), losing to Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen.

Schalke (9-12-12) were doing a great job in the first half of the season but they were simply tragic in the second half. They are coming off yet another bad performance, this time falling by 4-1 at home against Wolfsburg. They won their first match in 2020 but have been horrible since then, going win-less in their last 17 matches in all competitions (0-10-7). Schalke are now sitting at the 11th spot of the league table with 39 points, scoring 38 goals and conceding 54. They have a mediocre 4-7-5 record on the road, scoring 18 and conceding 27 goals.

The two teams split the points in a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture earlier in the season, and it is Schalke who slightly have the upper hand in the last five (2-1-2). There has been total balance between the two sides in the last ten matches in this venue, with each team winning four times (4-4-2). There is no reason for any team to play defensively in this last, free match of the season.
