TSV 1860 Munich also lost at the bottom in Freiburg – their fourth defeat in a row. Captain Jesper Verlaat will probably be in the game, as he is supposed to stabilize 1860 Munich's defense again.

In the last five league games, the Breisgauers were able to record three wins, including the 3-2 against the Ingolstadt team coached by Michael Köllner. Although loanee Niklas Lang was missing from Freiburger's two wins (against Ingolstad and Mannheim) due to a red card suspension, he is one of the team's top performers.
