Bundesliga club SC Freiburg wants to continue its winning streak in the game at VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky).
After eight matchdays so far, the Breisgauer are the only team in the league without a defeat.
Champions League participants Wolfsburg, on the other hand, have been waiting for a win for seven competitive games.
Wolfsburg - Freiburg coach Christian Streich may have to do without striker Nils Petersen against Lower Saxony.
The top joker suffered from knee problems during the week.
In addition to offensive player Roland Sallai (hit on the knee), right-back Lukas Kübler is also questionable.
He had recently been absent due to an infection.
