Schwarzwald-Stadion will host Saturday’s football game between Freiburg and Leipzig.
Freiburg quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Union Berlin, with the team beating Bayer Leverkusen on the road, and, no doubt, they are high on spirits ahead of the visit of Leipzig. Both Flekken and Kwon Chang-Hoon are likely to miss the game through injuries.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, showed character in their last league match, with the team coming from two goals behind to beat Borussia M’gladbach at their Red Bull Arena.
Leipzig are desperate to put an extra pressure on league leaders Bayern Munchen, and seeing that they crushed Freiburg 3-0 in the first half of the season, we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing visitors.
Both Laimer and Scoboszlai have been struggling with injuries of late for the visiting team.
