Forward Alexis Claude netted a second-half hat-trick last time out for Augsburg, though fans may be concerned that their team only produced four shots on target against a side that had been reduced to 10 men in the 28th minute.
The hosts' had failed to find the back of the net in their previous three games, and it was the first time they scored at least three goals since their 3-0 victory against Schalke 04 on October 29 in the DFB-Pokal.
Jess Thorup's team have kept three consecutive clean sheets and prevented their opponents from scoring in five of their last eight matches, conceding just three goals in that time.
The Fuggerstadter's form is mixed given they have lost one, drawn three and won just one of their last five, but they are unbeaten in seven league outings, winning on four occasions.
However, Augsburg have been defeated in two of their four most recent home matches – drawing one and achieving victory in one – but they did win five of their prior seven at WWK Arena.
Opponents Freiburg were clinical in the final third against Werder Bremen, scoring five times despite only creating four big chances, though they were fortunate that the Green-Whites missed a 39th-minute penalty when they were trailing 2-0.
The visitors occupy the division's final Champions League qualification spot but are only one point ahead of both fifth-placed Mainz 05 and sixth-placed RB Leipzig, and victory on Sunday could be essential given they take on both teams in their following two games.
Breisgau-Brasilianer boast an impressive record against Augsburg, with the club having lost just once in their past 12 meetings, winning eight of those encounters including in the reverse fixture this season when they won 3-1 on October 19.
Manager Julian Schuster will be delighted by his side's performances considering they have triumphed in their four most recent games without conceding.
Their good form of late includes 1-0 away victories in their last two matches on the road, though it should be noted that they lost five and drew one of their previous six away from home.
