FC Koln take on Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday, with the hosts in desperate need of a positive result to move outside of the automatic relegation zone.

Freiburg's 3-0 defeat to Hertha Berlin during the week saw Koln slide into 17th place at the expense of Hertha, with Freiburg's European ambitions all but ended as a result.

We say: FC Koln 2-1 Freiburg

We expect Koln to win a third successive match ahead of their potentially decisive encounter with Hertha next weekend.

While Freiburg can still cause the hosts issues, they appear to be on the beach, with a mid-table finish guaranteed for them.

Eintracht Frankfurt take on Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Sunday, with the visitors looking to extend their unbeaten run to nine matches as they attempt to move further clear of the relegation zone.

Frankfurt, meanwhile, may need to win in order to remain in the Champions League qualification places.

We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Mainz 05

We expect a closely fought encounter between two sides who have performed considerably above expectations since the turn of the year.

Mainz showed signs of running out of steam against Hertha on Monday, though, so Frankfurt's attacking quality could get them over the line in the end as they look to take a huge step towards qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Hertha Berlin host Arminia Bielefeld in the Bundesliga on Sunday in a potentially decisive encounter in terms of shaping this season's relegation picture.

The two sides head into the clash level on points after Hertha's 3-0 win against Freiburg on Thursday, which saw Bielefeld drop into the relegation playoff position.

We say: Hertha Berlin 2-0 Arminia Bielefeld

Hertha's enforced break appears to have done them the world of good, and we expect them to be too strong for Bielefeld on Sunday.

Not many sides in the bottom half of the table could cope with Hertha's congested schedule, but Dardai is blessed with strength in depth and has the ability to rotate the majority of his team without suffering from any tangible dip in quality.
