SC Freiburg head coach Christian Streich said his side "need to be better than good", but will be forced to make at least two changes to his starting line-up with centre-back Caglar Söyüncü and top scorer Maximilian Philipp both unavailable for selection. Manuel Gulde and Olympic silver medalist Nils Petersen are expected to feature in their stead, while Christian Günter, back from suspension, should slot in at left-back.

For Leipzig, Greek centre-back Kyriakos Papadopoulos will be unable to replace Marvin Compper - who was forced off injured in the win over Bayer 04 Leverkusen - after having to undergo a knee operation that will keep him out for three weeks. Lukas Klostermann, Bernardo and Ken Gipson are all "making good progress", but will not feature on Friday night.
