Freiburg vs. FK TSC Bačka Topola preview: Team news and predicted lineups
Here is our preview of Thursday's Europa League group stage clash between Freiburg and FK TSC Bačka Topola, including predicted lineups.
SC Freiburg will be looking to end a three-match winless streak when they welcome Serbian side FK TSC Bačka Topola to the Europa-Park Stadium on Thursday evening.
Things looked bleak for Christian Streich's men at the weekend when they found themselves 3-1 down against Gladbach, but they managed to salvage a draw, with Vincenzo Grifo leveling from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
Grifo was also the hero for Freiburg away to TSC Backa Topola, as the Italy international scored a second-half hat-trick in a 3-1 comeback win.
The Serbs haven't lost since that defeat, beating Cukaricki 2-0 at the weekend after drawing with Novi Pazar and Crvena Zvezda.
Streich is expected to field a four-man backline as he did against Gladbach, with Noah Weisshaupt likely to start at the expense of Ritsu Doan after scoring at the weekend.
