WHAT A SAVE!
Hoffenheim so close to levelling as a cross is flicked on to Adams. He heads goalwards, but Flekken - almost in slow motion - leaps to his left to bat clear. Rutter slams the rebound wide.

RUTTER ROCKET
Rutter fashions a bit of space in the Freiburg area. The TSG sub drives goalwards, but Flekken is equal to it at his near post.

HÖLER SCORES!

GOLDEN CHANCE!
Sallai hooks a ball into the danger zone for Höler. He's only about five yards out, but fails to make contact. A simple touch goalwards, and Freiburg would have been ahead!

FREIBURG HIT STRAIGHT BACK!
Hoffenheim forge ahead as Kramaric plays a brilliantly disguised pass to Stiller, who arrows into the bottom corner from inside the box. Freiburg go straight up the other end with Günter, who hits a daisycutter past Baumann from 18 yards.

WIDE!
Freiburg almost caught out following a throw-in. Dabbur plays in Baumgartner on the edge of the area, but he places his effort just wide of Flekken's left-hand post.

HOFFENHEIM EQUALISE!
It's out of nothing as Samassekou sprays a ball out wide left to Raum. He bends a pinpoint ball into the area, and Kramaric pokes it home. Game on!

SALLAI!
Freiburg take the lead in Sinsheim! It's lovely move, capped by a delightful first-time finish into the bottom corner from Sallai. Freiburg going fourth, as things stand.

DABBUR CONCERN
Dabbur goes down with nobody near him. He appears to twist a knee, but should be OK to continue.
17'
TAME HEADER
Kaderabek sends a ball into the box for Kramaric, but his header lacks the power to trouble Flekken. Hoffenheim's record scorer has just four goals this so far this term - that's his lowest return in six full seasons at the club.

ENCOURAGING SIGNS
Positive start from Hoffenheim. They're not playing like a team that's winless in six.
7'
OPENINGS
Hoffenheim carve out the first chances of the contest as Kramaric takes advantage of a mistake by Gulde. He could shoot, but elects to pass and Freiburg can clear. Moments later, Günter is on hand to stop a Raum cross finding Bebou on the penalty spot.

FREIBURG EYE TOP FOUR
Christian Streich's men could jump above Leipzig and into provisional fourth spot should they gain maximum points in this Matchday 32 encounter. DFB Cup finalists, Freiburg's only loss in their last 12 competitive fixtures was against champions Bayern.

SALLAI OUT FOR REVENGE
Here's Freiburg's Roland Sallai speaking ahead of today's game: "Hoffenheim are a really good side and have some great players. We won there 4-1 in the Pokal, but we conceded a late winner to them at home earlier this season. We want to take revenge for that and win the game."
FREIBURG TEAM NEWS
With club record scorer and super-sub supreme Petersen only fit enough for the bench, Streich shuffles his pack following the 3-3 with Borussia Mönchengladbach a week ago. Ex-Bayern winger Jeong Woo-yeong and Bosnia-Herzegovina striker Ermin Demirovic drop to the bench, with defender Manuel Gulde and forward Lucas Höler coming in.
HOFFENHEIM TEAM NEWS
Coach Hoeneß switches to a back four, with Pavel Kaderabek and David Raum the full-backs, while Christoph Baumgartner returns at the expense of Jacob Bruun Larsen. Chris Richards, Stefan Posch, Havard Nordtveidt and Florian Grillitsch are all out.
