The hosts change their starting formation to two positions. Hamza Saghiri has played in central midfield from the start for Stefano Russo. Anton Donkor replaces Marc Schnatterer on the left wing, who initially has to sit on the bench.

Let’s take a look at the lineups of both teams. The guests from Freiburg have to change their starting XI to three positions. Due to the two dismissals on the last day of the game, Freiburg are missing Sandrino Braun-Schumacher and Sascha Risch today. In addition, Kiliann Sildillia is also out with the fifth yellow card. Instead, Max Rosenfelder, Claudio Kammerknecht and Kimberly Ezekwem are new to the starting lineup.

Freiburg, on the other hand, have established themselves in the middle of the table. However, the Breisgauer have lost the last three games. Against Verl and Halle they lost to teams that were in danger of relegation and last week they lost to TSV 1860 Munich. The Freiburgers showed themselves to be combative, but in the end they were twice outnumbered and were not able to take a point with them. Freiburg should do everything possible to end their negative series.

Although the hosts haven’t lost in their last four league games, they shouldn’t be particularly satisfied after two draws in a row. A 1-1 draw against Zwickau and a goalless draw in the derby against Saarbrücken made the last hopes of promotion fade. After all, the Mannheimers could jump back to fifth place with a win today and shrink the gap to the relegation place to eight points. Coach Glöckner promised before this game that his team would play more enthusiastic football again. With a three, the Mannheimers would continue to play at the top.
