SC Freiburg vs Schalke 04 Competition – German Bundesliga Stadium – Schwarzwald-Stadion Date: 7th May 2017 Kick-off time – 16:30 GMT+1 Live in-play betting – bet365
Freiburg have had a season they can be proud of. They are currently 7th in the league table with 44 points from 31 league games. They are currently behind 5th placed Hertha by just 2 points and if they win this game, they could topple them. They have 4 wins from their last 10 league games, losing 4 and drawing 2. After losing 2-5 to Werder Bremen on the 1st of April, they went on to win their next 2 home games albeit by slim margins. They will be hoping to take advantage of playing at home and win this one as well. Schalke 04 are currently 10th 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. They have won 4 of their last 10 league games. Their last away match ended in a 4-1 victory for them against Bayer Leverkusen and they will be looking to build on that impressive win here.
