Freiburg will host Wolfsburg at the Europa-Park-Stadion on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had mixed results in the league of late but remain hopeful of securing continental football. They played out a 1-1 draw against Mainz last time out, with Michael Gregoritsch heading home the opener after just six minutes before their opponents leveled the scores just before the interval.
Freiburg sit seventh in the league table with 40 points from 30 matches and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this weekend.
Wolfsburg, meanwhile, have had a slow start to life under new boss Ralph Hasenhuttl and now look set to finish in the bottom half of the pile for the second time in the last three seasons. They beat Bochum 1-0 in their last match, with Jonas Wind scoring the sole goal of the game late in the first half to end an 18-game goal drought.
Wolfsburg sit 13th in the Bundesliga standings with 31 points from 30 games. They are four points above Bochum in the relegation playoff spot and will be looking to widen that gap this weekend.
