Freiburg will host Borussia Dortmund at the Europa-Park-Stadion in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Dortmund are third in the standings with 28 points, 12 more than the 10th-placed hosts.
Breisgau-Brasilianer faced Heidenheim in their previous league outing and suffered a 2-1 away loss. Johan Manzambi gave them the lead in the 40th minute, but Heidenheim overturned the deficit in the second half, including a stoppage-time winner. They met RB Salzburg in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, and Philipp Lienhart's 50th-minute strike helped them secure a 1-0 win.
Die Schwarzgelben overcame Hoffenheim 2-0 at home in the Bundesliga last week, thanks to goals from Julian Brandt and Nico Schlotterbeck. They failed to build on that win and were held to a 2-2 draw by Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
