Hoffenheim and Freiburg will be keen to continue their impressive start to the new season when they take on each other in an intriguing Bundesliga contest. Both sides are not far away from the top spot in the table, something not many predicted at the beginning of the new campaign. In the summer, Hoffenheim began a new chapter under Andre Breitenreiter and so far the partnership seems to be thriving. Even though it is early days in the season, their supporters can take a lot of positives from the way their team has adapted to life under the new manager.

Sitting fifth in the standings, Hoffenheim have 12 points from six games. They have won four of their last five matches and can go back into the top four places with a win on Sunday night. On the other hand, Freiburg have a point more than the upcoming hosts. They are occupying the third spot in the table with 13 points from six matches. Borussia Monchengladbach had brought their three-game winning run to an end last weekend with a goalless draw. However, Freiburg returned to winning ways during their Europa League group stage match against Greek champions Olympiacos in midweek.

Hoffenheim are set to miss the bulk of players due to injuries for this clash. Ermin Bicakcic and Philipp Pentke will most likely miss the upcoming match and they will be joined on the sidelines by Ihlas Bebou and Kevin Akpoguma. On the other hand, Roland Sallai will be a major doubt for Freiburg. It is unclear if he will play any part in the Sunday night contest following the injury he suffered against Bayer Leverkusen. Since they played a midweek Europa League encounter, it will be interesting to see how many changes they make to that lineup.
Hoffenheim possible line-up: Baumann, Kabak, Vogt, Akpoguma, Geiger, Baumgartner, Skov, Promel, Angelino, Rutter, Kramaric
Freiburg possible line-up: Flekken, Sildillia, Ginter, Lienhart, Gunter, Doan, Eggestein, Hofler, Grifo, Kyereh, Gregoritsch
