"Stuttgart have stabilised themselves and found their feet again. Many of the passages of play they had in place last season are still there. The positions are filled with quality. It'll be a great challenge."

Sebastian Hoeneß on Freiburg

"Freiburg have a very intense style of play and are always prepared to run the extra kilometre. It will certainly be a very intense and exciting game and we're really looking forward to it. We need to put in an absolute top performance and must be prepared to reach our limit."

Away day blues

The Black Forest outfit came a cropper against an in-form Eintracht Frankfurt in the teams' midweek tussle at Deutsche Bank Park.

Up and down visitors

Freiburg's campaign under new coach Julian Schuster has been somewhat mixed this term, and a heavy midweek defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt will have done little for morale, especially with the Black Forest side seemingly struggling against the top teams in the league. That said This weekend's visitors are very much involved in the push for Europe.

Last time out

It was on Matchday 3 last season that Stuttgart hosted Freiburg and it was a game the visitors wanted to forget in a hurry, with the Swabians running out 5-0 winners as part of an impressive start to the 2023/24 campaign.
