The home team will be without the services of Yannik Keitel, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Christian Gunter. Meanwhile, Michael Gregoritsch is a doubt for this fixture but could be back in time.
Meanwhile, in the centre of the park, Roland Sallai and Lukas Kubler will start out wide. The duo will look to support the back three and join the attack when needed. Maximilian Eggestein and Merlin Rohl will feature as the central midfielders. The duo will look to control the pace of this game.
Ritsu Doan and Vincenzo Grifo will play out wide in attack. They will look to link up with Lucas Holer who will be leading the line in this fixture.
Probable Lineup (3-4-3): Atubolu; Sildillia, Ginter, Lienhart; Sallai, Rohl, Eggestein, Kubler; Doan, Holer, Grifo
West Ham United
David Moyes’s team will be without the services of Aaron Cresswell. Meanwhile, they do have a boost as Edson Álvarez is back available after servicing his suspension. He will most likely make his European debut for the Irons in this fixture.
Moyes is expected to go ahead with the 4-3-3 formation where Lukasz Fabianski will be in goal. Thilo Kehrer and Emerson Palmieri will be the full-backs for this outing. In the heart of the defence, Kurt Zouma will pair up with Konstantinos Mavropanos.
Lucas Paqueta will start in the centre of the park, and he will have the support of Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse. The trio will look to have the majority of the ball possession and dictate the pace of this game.
Said Benrahma and Mohammed Kudus will start out wide on the flanks. They will provide the width to their attacks and also look to cut inside when the opportunity presents itself. Meanwhile, start striker Michail Antonio will be leading the line.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Fabianski; Kehrer, Zouma, Mavropanos, Palmieri; Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta; Kudus, Antonio, Benrahma
Prediction: SC Freiburg 1-2 West Ham United
