Freiburg will host Borussia Monchengladbach at the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday afternoon in the 31st gameweek of the German Bundesliga.
The hosts are enjoying a good spell at the moment. They picked up a comfortable 3-0 win over Bochum in their last league outing before beating Hamburg 3-1 earlier this week to advance to the DFB-Pokal final.
Freiburg are fifth in the Bundesliga standings with 51 points from 30 games. They will look to continue their strong run this weekend to maintain their push for UEFA Champions League football.
Borussia Monchengladbach, meanwhile, saw their good run come to an end last weekend, when they were beaten 3-1 by Europe-chasing Koln. They were clinically carved apart by the Billy Goats and were already three goals down before Breel Embolo scored a late consolation goal.
The visitors sit 11th in the league standings with 37 points. They will now look to return to winning ways this weekend before their European ambitions completely fizzle out.
