Freiburg manager Christian Streich has to currently contend with reduced team options. Lucas Höler (Metatarsal Fracture) and Kevin Schade (Abdominal Strain) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re therefore seeing a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 victory for Freiburg at the end of the match.
