Freiburg will host Hoffenheim 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 this season but remain in contention for continental football. They played out a goalless draw against Union Berlin in their last match and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Freiburg have picked up 25 points from 17 games so far and now sit seventh in the league table. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this week.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, enjoyed a bright start to their season but have dropped off the pace of late and are falling behind in the race for European football. They were beaten 3-0 by defending champions Bayern Munich last time out, sitting two goals down before a red card to Grischa Promel all but scuppered any chances of a positive outcome.
The visitors sit a place and a point behind their opponents in the Bundesliga standings and will leapfrog them with a win on Saturday.
