MORE FRUSTRATION FOR GLADBACH
Gladbach have at least snapped a three-game losing streak at home but it's another frustrating night for them in front of their own supporters. The point they have earned moves them up to third in the table - at least temporarily - but it's Freiburg coach Christian Streich who is smiling at full-time.
The visitors struck first on 10 minutes with a nice move from back to front that ended with former Gladbach player Vincenzo Grifo sweeping home in off the post from the edge of the area.
Alasanne Plea soon equalised with his 11th league goal of the season - and second of 2019 - but the Foals couldn't break down a stubborn Freiburg rearguard after that.

BUSY FIRST START FOR SCHLOTTERBECK
Centre-back Keven Scholtterbeck is making his first start for Freiburg tonight and he looks composed. He played a lovely pass forward through the lines for the opening goal, but it looks like he'll have plenty of defending to do for the rest of the game.

Half-time

A TIGHT FIRST HALF
An opening 45 minutes of few chances comes to an end. Freiburg have defended smartly and have looked comfortable and threatening at times when they get on the ball.
Hazard and Plea combined for the equaliser, but Gladbach haven’t been able to get those two on the ball enough – with Jonas Hofmann bright for the home side. Freiburg boss Christian Streich will definitely be the happier of the two managers.

REVENGE FOR GLADBACH?
When these sides last met in October, Freiburg made the most of home advantage with a 3-1 win. Gladbach won last year's corresponding fixture by the same scoreline, and will be hoping for a similar outcome this evening.
FREIBURG SEEKING THIRD AWAY WIN
Freiburg are on a good run of form, having hammered Augsburg and beaten Hertha Berlin in their last two home matches. The visitors lost 2-0 at Bayer Leverkusen on their last away trip, however, and they have failed to win on the road in 2019.
CAN GLADBACH CONSOLIDATE FOURTH?
The Foals won each of their first nine home games this season but have lost their last three at Borussia-Park. They'll be looking to return to winning ways here to stay in the top four, with Eintracht Frankfurt just three points further behind in fifth place.
