(Football news) The hosts had their 100% start to 2024 ended in last weekend’s Friday fixture, so will look to put things right on home soil to maintain a place in the top four.
Dortmund’s trip to newly-promoted Heidenheim did not go as planned last Friday, as Edin Terzic’s side were held to a 0-0 draw at the Voith Arena.
Despite dropping points and RB Leipzig claiming their first win of the year, Dortmund do remain fourth heading into the weekend, but they have lost ground on Stuttgart in third.
Given Eintracht Frankfurt’s loss last weekend though, it is appearing as though it will be a three-horse race for the final two Champions League spots in the Bundesliga among the sides currently in third, fourth and fifth.
Terzic was not helped by an eye-watering injury list last week, but being in the Friday slot again, the manager will hope they can take the ascendancy and put the pressure on Stuttgart and Leipzig early. Freiburg are a side they have enjoyed playing lately, as they have the opportunity to do back-to-back doubles over their upcoming opponents here.
