Team News

RBL
Freiburg
  • Assan Ouédraogo is getting over a knee op, while Xaver Schlager is recovering from an ACL injury.
  • David Raum has undergone ankle surgery and will be out for several weeks.
  • Xavi Simons has likely played his last football of the year after suffering an ankle injury against Liverpool.
  • Manuel Gulde is struggling with a bad back, while Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is still recovering from an ACL injury. Merlin Röhl suffered an ankle injury and will be out for several weeks.
  • Max Rosenfelder left German U21 duty prematurely with a knock on Monday and is a doubt, while Kenneth Schmidt is struggling with a stomach muscle injury.

Prediction

  • Leipzig will have to recover from hosting European giants Liverpool in the Champions League in midweek, while Freiburg have all week to focus on this fixture.
  • Third-placed Freiburg have started life under new new coach Julian Schuster in decent shape with five wins and a couple of defeats, including one against Bayern.
  • Leipzig, 18 league games without defeat, are looking good to mount a title challenge, despite two frustrating 0-0 draws against likely relegation fodder before the recent international break.
  • Leipzig did the double last season (3-1,4-1) and can seal the three points on home soil with goals at both ends.
