Freiburg host Hertha BSC in a Bundesliga match at the Schwarzwald-Stadion on Sunday.
Freiburg are a point and a place ahead of Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga, in 11th position with 14 points from 12 games.
They have also hit a run of good form recently, with wins in their last two matches against Schalke and Arminia Bielefeld, both of whom are in the bottom three.
In the last game, a brace from Ronald Sallai gave Freiburg a 2-0 win against Schalke at the Veltins Arena, to leave the Royal Blues still without a win this season.
Hertha, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last four games, but have drawn three of those. In midweek, they played out a 0-0 draw against Mainz at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Freiburg vs Hertha BSC Head-to-Head
Hertha BSC have won eight out of the previous 27 matches that they have played against Freiburg, while they have lost seven times. These two sides have played out 12 draws in that period.
