Freiburg have had a season they can be proud of.  They are currently 7^th in the league table with 44 points from 31 league games.

They are currently behind 5^th placed Hertha by just 2 points and if they win this game, they could topple them.

After losing 2-5 to Werder Bremen on the 1^st of April, they went on to win their next 2 home games albeit by slim margins.

Schalke 04 are currently 10^th spot in the league table after some disappointing results this season however they have recently returned to some form after getting 4 points from their last 2 league games.

They currently have 41 points from 31 league games and that isn’t good enough to play in Europe next season.
