The game of the week in the Bundesliga for this weekend is between two Champions League chasing sides, SC Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday evening. The home side sit one position and 3 points behind their opposition in 5th place, but a win would take them above Frankfurt on goal difference.
Frankfurt head into the game confident after coming behind to beat Freiburg in the reverse fixture at the end of September 2012 2-1, thanks to a brace from Alexander Meier. However, they haven't won for 3 games since a 2-0 win at Hamburg at the beginning of the month, so will need to find some form against a Freiburg team who have won their last 2 in the Bundesliga, including a superb 3-2 win at Werder Bremen last time out.
Player to watch: With 6 goals and 6 assists in 22 Bundesliga games so far this season, Freiburg's Max Kruse is the player to watch in this fixture. The 24 year old scored Freiburg's goal in their defeat to Frankfurt in September, and opened the scoring against Werder Bremen last weekend, contributing to a steady start to his Freiburg career after moving from FC St. Pauli last summer.
