The Bundesliga continues this weekend and will see Freiburg host Stuttgart at the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday afternoon.
Freiburg have faltered in their league performances of late. They were beaten 5-1 by Borussia Dortmund last weekend and were completely outplayed by the Black and Yellows in almost every facet of the game. They however went on to beat Hoffenheim 4-1 in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday and will be looking to take confidence from that.
The hosts sit sixth in the Bundesliga, with 30 points from 19 games and will now be looking to return to winning ways in the league.
Like their hosts, Stuttgart are also struggling at the moment. They were beaten 2-0 by a clinical RB Leipzig outfit last time out, marking a fourth straight winless and goalless game for the Swabians.
Die Roten are currently sitting in the relegation zone at 17th place with just 18 points all season. They will now be looking to begin picking up points as the season inches to an end.
