SC Freiburg

Expected lineup

Atubolu - Sildillia, Ginter, Lienhart, Günter - M. Eggestein, Osterhage - Doan, Röhl, Grifo - Höler

Coach

Schuster

Bench

Huth, F. Müller, Kübler, Makengo, Rosenfelder, Beste, Höfler, Manzambi, Adamu, Dinkci, Gregoritsch, Philipp

Absentees

Gulde (back - problem backlog), Kyereh (building - up training after cruciate ligament tear), Muslija (ankle - injury backlog), Ogbus (Achilles tendon surgery)

Players at risk of suspension

M. Eggestein (4 yellow cards), Lienhart (4 yellow cards)

Regarding the game

There are many reasons to keep the lineup that achieved a 5 - 0 win against Bremen. Dinkci and Beste are close to being in the starting lineup as the first offensive substitutes. Rosenfelder, who was absent due to illness recently, could be an alternative again.
