While victory for either would seal the deal, defeat would not prove disastrous if fifth-placed Borussia Dortmund slip up. Furthermore, three points will take Freiburg above their visitors into third, matching the Black Forest club's best-ever finish.

Freiburg gave themselves a major boost in the race for Champions League qualification last weekend, coming from behind to beat Holstein Kiel 2-1 — a result that condemned the Bundesliga newcomers to relegation but kept Freiburg's European dream alive. With one game to go, Julian Schuster's side remain in pole position to finish in the top four for the first time since 1995 and could match their best-ever Bundesliga finish of third with a win on Saturday.

Despite being on a run of 13 points from their last five games — the best return in the division over that period — Freiburg know a slip-up could be fatal. Should they lose and Dortmund win or draw, they would miss out on a top-four finish altogether, making this one of the most important matches in the club's recent history.

Curiously, Freiburg could also become the first team ever to finish in the Bundesliga’s top four with a negative goal difference, currently sitting on -2. However, they’ve been strong at Europa-Park Stadion, especially on the final day of the season, winning each of their last three home finales despite having lost the last four when finishing the campaign away from home.

Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, occupy the most secure spot among the trio battling for two remaining Champions League places. A 2-2 draw with St. Pauli last weekend delayed their qualification but kept their fate in their own hands. Even a draw in Freiburg would be enough to see them through — and it’s highly unlikely Dortmund could overturn their superior goal difference if results come down to that.

Dino Toppmoller's team is unbeaten on the final day in each of the last five seasons and have dominated the recent head-to-head with Freiburg, including a 4-1 win in the reverse fixture. However, their away form has faltered in recent weeks, with only one win in their last seven on the road.

Freiburg’s only definite absentee is Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, while Eren Dinkci remains a doubt. Lucas Höler, who netted the winner against Kiel, will once again lead the line alongside Junior Adamu, with Vincenzo Grifo — now the club’s record assist-provider in a single Bundesliga season — playing in support. Ritsu Doan will likely line up on the opposite flank.

Frankfurt remain without Mario Götze and Kaua Santos, while Tuta is doubtful due to a knee issue. Nnamdi Collins may replace him at the back if needed, joining Robin Koch and Arthur Theate in defence. Hugo Ekitike is expected to spearhead the attack, flanked by Ansgar Knauff and Jean Bahoya.

Freiburg have momentum and a strong home record, but Frankfurt’s experience, attacking firepower, and favorable head-to-head record may just edge this high-stakes encounter. Expect the visitors to ride out a tight contest and punch their ticket to next season’s Champions League.

虽然任何一方的胜利都将敲定这笔交易，但如果排名第五的多特蒙德（Borussia Dortmund）出现失误，失败也不会是灾难性的。此外，三分将使弗赖堡超越他们的客队进入第三，追平黑森林俱乐部有史以来的最好成绩。

弗莱堡在上周末的欧冠资格赛中给了自己很大的帮助，他们2:1战胜了荷尔斯泰因基尔，这一结果虽然让这支德甲新球队降级，但却让弗莱堡的欧洲梦得以继续。在还剩下一场比赛的情况下，舒斯特尔的球队仍然保持着杆位，自1995年以来首次进入联赛前四，如果在周六的比赛中获胜，他们可能会追平他们在德甲联赛中排名第三的最好成绩。

尽管弗赖堡在过去五场比赛中取得了13分的好成绩，但他们知道一个失误可能是致命的。如果他们输球而多特蒙德赢球或平局，他们将完全失去进入前四的机会，这将使这场比赛成为俱乐部最近历史上最重要的比赛之一。

奇怪的是，弗赖堡也可能成为德甲历史上第一支净胜球为负的球队，目前他们的净胜球为-2。然而，他们在欧罗巴公园球场表现强劲，尤其是在本赛季的最后一天，尽管在客场输掉了最近四场比赛，但他们在最近三场主场决赛中都取得了胜利。

与此同时，法兰克福在争夺剩下的两个欧冠名额的三支球队中占据了最安全的位置。上周末2-2战平圣保利，推迟了他们的出线时间，但他们的命运掌握在自己手中。即使在弗赖堡打平也足以让他们出线，而多特蒙德几乎不可能逆转他们的净胜球优势。

迪诺·托普穆勒的球队在过去五个赛季的最后一天都保持不败，并且在最近与弗赖堡的正面交锋中占据了主导地位，包括在反向比赛中以4比1获胜。然而，最近几周，他们的客场状态不佳，在过去的七场客场比赛中只取得了一场胜利。

弗赖堡唯一确定缺席的是丹尼尔-科菲-基列，而甚至丁克奇仍然是一个疑问。在对阵基尔的比赛中打进绝杀球的卢卡斯Höler将再次和小阿达姆一起领衔锋线，而现在俱乐部在德甲联赛的单赛季助攻纪录保持者文森佐·格里福也将担任后援。龙仁秀可能会在对面侧翼。

法兰克福仍然没有马里奥Götze和卡阿·桑托斯，而图塔则因为膝盖问题而难以确定。如果需要的话，纳姆迪·柯林斯可能会代替他出任后卫线，与罗宾·科赫和阿瑟·西特一起出任后防线。埃基蒂克将作为锋线先锋，两侧是克瑙夫和巴霍亚。

弗赖堡有动力和强大的主场战绩，但法兰克福的经验，进攻火力，和有利的正面交锋记录可能只是优势这个高风险的遭遇。希望客队能在激烈的竞争中胜出，赢得下赛季欧冠的入场券。
