Freiburg will hope to continue their push towards the Bundesliga's Champions League qualification spots when they host strugglers Mainz 05 on Sunday at Europa-Park Stadion.
The hosts are in fifth place with 15 points from their first eight matches but lost 3-1 against RB Leipzig on October 26 in their last league outing, while the visitors are in 13th place with nine points and drew 1-1 with Borussia Monchengladbach on October 25.
We say: Freiburg 2-2 Mainz 05
Mainz have struggled for positive results of late, and it would not be surprising if they failed to win once again on Sunday.
However, it is difficult to ignore the visitors' strong away form, and perhaps Freiburg will have to settle for a point at home.

Borussia Monchengladbach will host Werder Bremen on Sunday at Borussia Park in their ninth Bundesliga game of the season, and they will hope to bounce back from their defeat last time out.
Die Fohlen are 11th in the top flight with 10 points and lost 2-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt in the second round of the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday, while the away side are ninth in the league with 12 points from eight games.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-2 Werder Bremen
It is difficult to ignore Werder Bremen's strong goalscoring form of late, as well as their good showings on the road in recent weeks.
Despite winning their last two home games, Borussia Monchengladbach have struggled at Borussia Park and it would not be surprising if they dropped points once again.
