The Bundesliga returns this weekend and will see Greuther Furth host Freiburg on Saturday afternoon in the 27th game week of the German top-flight.
Greuther Furth are in poor form at the moment and are inching ever closer to a return to the bottom tier. They fell to a 6-1 trouncing at the hands of high-flying RB Leipzig last time out, with Jamie Leweling scoring the sole goal for the hosts with their only effort on target.
Greuther Furth sit rock-bottom in the Bundesliga standings with just 14 points picked up so far. They are 11 points away from safety at the moment and will be working to reduce that gap starting this weekend.
Freiburg have returned to top form after their struggles at the beginning of the year. They beat Wolfsburg 3-2 in their last game, squandering a first-half two-goal advantage before reclaiming the lead late in the game via a wonder strike from Nico Schlotterbeck.
The visitors sit fifth in the league table with 44 points from 26 games. They will now be looking to continue their strong run as they target Champions League football.
