There are still plenty of issues that are so far unresolved in the Bundesliga this season. One of those issues is which German teams will be playing European football next season.
Two of the teams hoping to be involved in the fight for a top-six spot, Monchengladbach and Freiburg meet on Saturday afternoon.
Monchengladbach’s form has been that of a relegation candidate in recent months rather than a team challenging for a place in Europe.
A 3-0 win at rock-bottom Schalke ended an eight-game winless run in the Bundesliga and also a four-game losing streak.
However, considering the opposition the win may mean very little, as every team in the German top-flight beats Schalke at the moment, as they are so poor.
The head coach situation at the club seems to have had a major effect on the club and the player's form. The Foals recent poor run has seen them drop to tenth-place in the table, four points off the leagues top-six.
Freiburg are a point ahead of the home side and will feel that a top-six spot is not beyond them this season after another solid Bundesliga campaign.
However, the team from the Black Forest have endured an inconsistent recent run of form that has seen them suffer three defeats and pick up two victories from their previous five Bundesliga outings.
A lack of goals has been the main problem in recent matches, as Freiburg have failed to score in four of their last six Bundesliga outings.
The visitors have struggled on their travels of late in the German top-flight, having won just one of their last five league matches on their travels, including suffering three defeats.
Forebet predicts that Freiburg will boost their hopes of a top-six finish this season by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
