2-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Bundesliga numbers at home for SC Freiburg so far this season.

SC Freiburg's previous fixture was a DFB Pokal game also played at their own arena, finishing 2-1 vs St. Pauli. The home side are looking to continue in that form. Before that fixture this club had gone seven consecutive league fixtures without a defeat. Defender Ginter got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.33/10. Ginter scored one goal, served one assist and won 9 of 11 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Freiburg lost 0-5 at FC Bayern München's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
