The Schwarzwald-Stadion had been a fortress for Freiburg prior to Matchday 10, but VfL Wolfsburg's 3-0 win ended an impressive unbeaten run on home turf for Christian Streich’s side. That was followed by a 4-2 defeat at 1.FSV Mainz 05, but Freiburg remain in mid-table and have the prospect of becoming the first side to beat Leipzig this season to help motivate them. The hosts won 2-1 when the two sides last met in March, part of Freiburg’s title winning campaign in Bundesliga 2.

Head to the Match Centre for this fixture.

Leipzig’s gripping, come-from-behind win at Bayer 04 Leverkusen in Matchday 11’s opening fixture saw them rise to first place, and they stayed there thanks to Borussia Dortmund’s 1-0 victory over FC Bayern München. Playing on a Friday for the second week in a row gives Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side a great chance to put pressure on the chasing pack and extend their superb unbeaten start to their first season in the Bundesliga.
