Freiburg will be looking for another win after the 4-1 Bundesliga success vs RB Leipzig. It’s our opinion that Freiburg could kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Noah Atubolu, Lukas Kübler, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Philipp Treu, Maximilian Eggestein, Nicolas Höfler, Jan-Niklas Beste, Johan Manzambi, Vincenzo Grifo and Igor Matanovic.
Freiburg manager Julian Schuster will be grateful not to have any fitness worries whatsoever coming into this game owing to a completely healthy squad ready to go.
