Breisgau-Brasilianer sit third in the league table with 22 points from 11 games. They will be looking to shake off their setback against Bayern Munich and return to winning ways at the weekend.

Die Adler sit 14th in the Bundesliga with 12 points from 11 games. They are just three points above the drop zone and will be looking to begin picking up results.

Freiburg were the only unbeaten team in the German top-flight until their loss to Bayern Munich last time out. They will be looking to bounce back from that and continue their impressive start to the season.
Eintracht Frankfurt won for the first time in four games when they beat Greuther Furth 2-1 in a rather lackluster game last time out. The hosts should pick up points on Sunday.
