The action continues in round 20 of the German Bundesliga as Freiburg and Stuttgart lock horns at the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday.
Sebastian HoeneB’s men head into the weekend off the back of a resounding home victory over RB Leipzig and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Freiburg were condemned to a second consecutive Bundesliga defeat last Saturday when they fell to a 3-1 loss against Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion.
Prior to that, Christian Streich’s side were on a three-game unbeaten run, claiming two wins and one draw in their opening three games of the year.
With 28 points from 18 matches, Freiburg are currently seventh in the Bundesliga table, three points behind sixth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt in the Conference League qualification spot.
Stuttgart, on the other hand, returned to winning ways in style as they hammered Leipzig 5-2 at the MHPArena last weekend.
HoeneB’s men were previously on a two-game losing run, suffering successive defeats at the hands of Borussia Monchengladbach and Bochum respectively.
With 37 points from 19 matches, Stuttgart are currently third in the league table, one point above fourth-placed Borussia Dortmund.
