FC Augsburg enters this match in concerning form, having lost four of their last five league games. The 4-0 thrashing by Borussia Mönchengladbach exposed their defensive frailties, while a goalless draw with Bremen showed attacking struggles. Their home record offers little comfort, with just three wins from eight games at WWK Arena. Captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw's knee injury weakens their already fragile defense, while striker Samuel Essende's international duty absence limits attacking options. Sitting just one point above the relegation playoff spot, Augsburg desperately needs points but lacks the quality to consistently deliver.

SC Freiburg arrives with mixed but encouraging recent form, showing character in crucial moments. Their 2-1 victory over Hamburg demonstrated resilience, while the thrilling 4-3 win at Wolfsburg highlighted their attacking potential. A 2-0 loss to Leipzig was disappointing but understandable against quality opposition. Away from home, Freiburg has been solid with two wins and three draws from nine games. Philipp Lienhart's muscle injury concerns their defense, but Jan Beste's return from illness boosts creativity. Their European campaign experience has added valuable match sharpness for domestic battles.
