FC Augsburg

FC Augsburg are missing three defenders for Freiburg's visit. Calvin Brackelmann, who started each of the last five matches, is ruled out with concussion and is expected to miss two games; Abdulay Bah serves a suspension following his red card, and Noahkai Banks remains out with a knee injury.

Young-Woo Seol is expected to start, while Michael Gregoritsch is preferred to Rodrigo Ribeiro and Jeffrey Gouweleeuw to Yannik Keitel. Anton Kade, who made his first start of the run against Union Berlin, is expected to continue further forward alongside Arijon Ibrahimović and Hennes Behrens.

SC Freiburg

Yannik Engelhardt is pushing for a recall after playing the full 90 minutes in the midweek DFB-Pokal tie against Wolfsburg on his return from injury. He is the alternative to Patrick Osterhage in central midfield after starting three of Freiburg's last five league games.

Further forward, Derry Scherhant is expected to start despite remaining doubtful with the foot knock he sustained against Bayern Munich, which kept him out of the cup tie. Lucas Höler is favoured over Igor Matanovic at centre-forward, with Jan-Niklas Beste and Yuito Suzuki expected to provide support.
