Freiburg host Schalke in Bundesliga Matchday 5

[SC Freiburg](https://riyadaty.com/en/team/sc-freiburg-264) host [FC Schalke 04](https://riyadaty.com/en/team/fc-schalke-04-265) on 11 October 2026 at 18:30 Damascus time, in a meeting between the two sides in Matchday 5 of the 2026/27 [Bundesliga](https://riyadaty.com/en/competition/bundesliga-18) season, with the match broadcast on Shahid and MBC Action.

Freiburg sit third in the table with 10 points from 4 matches, having won 3 and drawn 1 without any defeats, scoring 12 goals and conceding just 3. Schalke, on the other hand, are eleventh with 5 points from 4 matches, following 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat, scoring 3 goals and conceding 4.

Freiburg go into this match on the back of a strong run of results, having beaten Werder Bremen 4-1, Paderborn 1-0, and Borussia Monchengladbach by a big 5-0 scoreline, before drawing 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt in their last match.

Schalke's recent results, meanwhile, have been inconsistent, having lost 0-3 to Augsburg, then drawn 0-0 with Bayern Munich, beaten Union Berlin 3-1, before drawing 0-0 with Elversberg in their last outing.

Historically, Freiburg have had the upper hand in recent head-to-head meetings between the two sides, winning the last 5 encounters with close scorelines including a 4-0 win on several occasions and a 2-0 away win, with Schalke failing to score in any of these matches.

Schalke will be without both Dejan Ljubicic and Timo Becker due to injury, with both expected to remain sidelined until this match.
