Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund are separated by a solitary point in the Bundesliga table ahead of Saturday's showdown at the Europa-Park Stadion.
While the hosts have won two of their three league outings this season, the visitors have recorded one win and two draws to remain unbeaten.
Christian Streich's men started the season on a high, claiming an easy DFB-Pokal victory over Oberachern before securing back-to-back league wins against Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen, but they were brought back down to earth with a bang last time out.
Still, only the top two - Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen - have picked up more points than Freiburg after three games, so Breisgau-Brasilianer will back themselves to return to winning ways as quickly as possible, having experienced a rare blip in their previous match.
It is also worth noting that Freiburg have lost just two of their last 17 Bundesliga encounters at the Europa-Park Stadion, meaning that Streich's side finished the previous campaign with the fifth-best home record in the division, in addition to the second-best defensive record on home soil.
