Team News

Freiburg
  • Matthias Ginter is still injured and will be replaced by Pavel Krmas at centre-back again.
  • Jan Rosenthal and Max Kruse could start up front again, after a decent performance last week.
  • Manager Streich will most likely field an unchanged team once more.
VfB Stuttgart
  • Maza and Georg Niedermeier compete for a spot at centre-back.
  • At left-back, Arthur Boka could replace Cristian Molinaro again.
  • Zdravko Kuzmanovic and Raphael Holzhäuser both have chances to start in central midfield.
  • Ibrahima Traoré and Shinji Okazaki compete for the spot on the left wing.
  • Otherwise, manager Labbadia could field an unchanged team.

Prediction

  • Freiburg have been very solid in the last few weeks and need to try to keep their form until the winter break in order to retain their position away from the relegation zone. The team has developed very well under manager Streich so far.
  • Stuttgart could be a bit tired after another Europa League week, especially because their squad is not all that large. They will have gained confidence with an impressive performance and result in Bucharest though.
  • Expect this to be a close game. Freiburg are better organised and strong at home, but Stuttgart have the stronger individual players.
