RB Leipzig will welcome Freiburg to the Red Bull Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The hosts have had a very good campaign in the league and are currently occupying the continental positions. They suffered a shock 2-0 defeat at Mainz in their last league outing but bounced back from that with a 2-1 win over Red Star Belgrade in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday to book their place in the last 16 of the competition .
Leipzig are fifth in the table with 20 points from 10 matches and will look to add to that tally when they play on Sunday.
Freiburg, meanwhile, have struggled to impress on their domestic assignments this season despite their strong showings on the continental stage. They drew 3-3 against Borussia Monchengladbach last time out in the Bundesliga before thrashing TSC 5-0 in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
The visitors are eighth in the Bundesliga standings with 14 points so far. They will be looking to shake off their recent league results and get back to winning ways in the competition this weekend.
