Freiburg-Hamburger SV Statistical Preview

Team News

Freiburg

• Pavel Krmas and Fallou Diagne compete for a spot at centre-back.
• Jonathan Schmid and Oliver Sorg are both in contention for a start at right-back.
• Admir Mehmedi and Sebastian Freis both have a chance of starting up front.

Hamburger SV

• Heiko Westermann will remain at right-back, with youngster Jonathan Tah continuing to play at centre-back.
• Jacques Zoua and Maximilian Beister compete for the spot on the right wing, with the latter most likely being ahead in the managers ranking after a good performance from the bench last time.
• Otherwise, manager Bert van Marwijk could field an unchanged team again.

Prediction

• Freiburg have not won in the Bundesliga this season and need to improve at home again. It remains to be seen how the team will deal with another difficult Europa League week.
• Hamburg are in good form since new manager Bert van Marwijk took over. If they can keep their focus on further improving their organisation, they should continue to get results.
• Expect Hamburg to dominate possession and Freiburg to wait for chances on the break.
