Freiburg will host Koln at the Europa-Park-Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had their struggles in the league this season but remain hopeful of securing continental football at the end of the campaign. They beat Wolfsburg 1-0 in their last league outing, with Michael Gregoritsch scoring the sole goal of the game before suffering a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
Freiburg sit eighth in the league table with 21 points from 14 games and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
Trending
Koln have failed to impress this season and are currently fighting to retain their top-flight status. They played out a goalless draw against Mainz in their last match and were perhaps fortunate to have come away with the sole point after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
The visitors sit 16th in the Bundesliga standings with just 10 points picked up so far. They are just one point above last-placed Darmstadt and will be aiming to widen that gap with a win on Sunday.
