Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg will look to return to winning ways when they square off in Friday's Bundesliga tie at Signal Iduna Park.
Although Edin Terzic's men are unbeaten in their last eight competitive games, last week's goalless draw at Heidenheim has left BVB just a point above fifth-placed RB Leipzig.
Freiburg has lost back-to-back league games against Werder Bremen and Stuttgart which currently sees Christian Streich's side three points adrift of sixth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
