8:10pm, 17 May 2025Football

It's Saturday, there are many games tonight. The 34th round of the Bundesliga (last round) will start at 21:30, the 34th round of the French Ligue 1 (last round) will start at 3 a.m. tomorrow. There is also the penultimate round of Serie A and the penultimate round of the Premier League. In addition, the FA Cup final also played at 23:30, from Crystal Palace vs Manchester City. In the Bundesliga, Bayern has won the championship three rounds ahead of schedule. The only suspense is to compete for the Champions League qualification. The last two UEFA Champions League places will be produced in Frankfurt, Freiburg and Dortmund. In this round, Freiburg vs. Frankfurt, Dortmund vs. Holsteinkiel, because Holsteinkiel has been relegated early, Dortmund won almost 100% tonight, so Dortmund's points will be 57 points.

If Frankfurt defeats or draws Freiburg tonight, Frankfurt and Dortmund advance to the Champions League. If Freiburg defeats Frankfurt, Freiburg advances to the Champions League, Dortmund currently has 3 fewer goal difference than Frankfurt. In other words, Dortmund defeats Kiel with more than three goals and will beat Frankfurt. At present, winning more than three is not a big problem, so Freiburg vs. Frankfurt has become a real Champions League battle.

The two teams had 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses in the previous 6 games. In the first leg of this season, Freiburg lost 1-4 to Frankfurt away. Last season, the two teams had two draws, 0-0 and 3-3. In terms of value, Freiburg has 166 million euros and Frankfurt has 323 million euros, with a big gap. Although the score difference between the two teams is only 2 points in the Bundesliga standings, Frankfurt has 20 goals and Freiburg has 2 goals.

According to various data, it seems that Frankfurt has the advantage tonight, but Frankfurt's problem lies in its stability. St. Pauli, who played at home in the last round, was tied 2-2. On the latest odds list, Freiburg lost 2.13 in wins, 3.38 in ties, and 2.75 in losses. The market is slightly optimistic about Freiburg.

The game reaches this stage, and the strategic goals of each team are very important. Frankfurt can advance to the Champions League as long as he draws tonight. Therefore, overall, the possibility of a draw in this game is the most likely, followed by Freiburg's small victory with one goal. The specific score is predicted 2-1, 1-1, 2-2.

Let's take a look at another focus game tonight, that is, the FA Cup final, Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City. Crystal Palace will challenge the team's 119-year history of no championship, and Manchester City does not want to be as empty as Real Madrid after a failed season, and their desire for a FA Cup championship is much higher than before.

Crystal Palace's state has recovered significantly recently. It has been unbeaten in all four rounds of the league. Manchester City's form has also recovered some time ago, but the embarrassing thing is that after Haaland's comeback in the last round, the combination of Haaland and Foden made the team play a mess and tied by Southampton, who is at the bottom.

Because Manchester City was tied by Southampton in the last round, many media and fans were not optimistic about Manchester City's victory tonight, but the cup and league are different, especially the single-round system of the cup finals. The team's experience is crucial, and I am optimistic about Manchester City in this regard. The specific score prediction is 1-1, 1-2, 1-3. If the two teams draw in regular time, Manchester City will eventually win the championship.
