Freiburg Team News

In the last championship match, Freiburg beat Augsburg at home 2:0. They took the lead in the sixth minute with Vincenzo Grif’s goal from the penalty spot, and doubled their advantage in the 56th minute with Philipp Lienhart’s goal, while the assistant scored the first goal. Until the end of the match, the result remained unchanged.

In the first round of the Europa League group stage, they defeated Olympiacos away from home with 2:3. On three occasions, the visiting team took the lead, and in the end, they managed to triumph. Scorers for Freiburg were Roland Sallai, Vincenzo Grifo and Maximilian Philipp.

In the Bundesliga, they are currently eighth in the table with 10 points, four behind fourth-placed Borussia Dortmund. In the last five competitive matches, they recorded three wins one draw, and one loss each.

Freiburg will be forced to make one change to their squad from the weekend after Yannik Keitel had to leave the game after just 20 minutes against Augsburg. Merlin Rohl replaced him then and is expected to play in midfield, with minimal further changes expected given the standard of the opposition.

Defender Kenneth Schmidt is an option to enter the back three of the defense, while Maximilian Philipp and Junior Adamu are alternatives in attack.

West Ham Team News

In the previous round of the English Premier League, West Ham defeated Sheffield United at home 2:0. They took the lead in the 24th minute when Vladimir Coufal played past Jarrod Bowen, and he put the ball into the net. They doubled their advantage in the 37th minute with a goal by Tomas Soucek, while the assistant this time was Michail Antonio. Until the end of the game, the score remained unchanged.

In the first round of the Europa League, they defeated TSC Bačka Topola at home with 3:1, after a turnaround in the second half, and the double scorer of the home team was Mohammed Kudus, while Tomas Soucek once shook the TSC net.

In the EFL Cup, they eliminated Lincoln 0:1, while in the Premier League, they currently occupy the seventh position in the table with 13 points won, three less than the fourth-placed Liverpool. In the previous five competitive matches, they recorded three wins and two losses.

Fellow goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will be in goal for West Ham, but manager David Moyes may opt to avoid the massive changes that took place in their first European game of the season.

Changes are expected though, with Thilo Kehrer, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Mohammed Kudus, and Said Benrahma all in contention to feature. Edson Alvarez served the suspension that prevented him from playing against Backa Topola.
