​Freiburg – Backa Topola preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Freiburg vs Backa Topola lineups.

​Freiburg

Freiburg sit strong in the group with 6 points halfway through the matches. In the last round came from behind to beat Backa Topola 3-1 away from home. Dominated and deserved the victory. Grifo was the star of the show and he scored all 3 goals. 

Freiburg are stumbling often on the domestic stage and they dropped points again on Saturday when only able to draw 3-3 vs Borussia M’gladbach. It was an open and fast-paced encounter. Grifo was the hero again as his late goal rescued the point. 

Freiburg have selection problems in all areas of the pitch with 5 important players still in the treatment room. Captain Gunter and Rosenfelde are bitterly missed in defence. Sallai is a big loss in midfield, while the options in attack remain restricted with Philipp and Kyereh absent. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Atubolu (GK), Sildillia, Ginter, Lienhart, Kubler, Doan, Eggestein, Hofler, Grifo, Holer & Gregoritsch

​Backa Topola

Backa Topola are the heavy outsiders in the group and with 1 point from 3 games they look to have given up all hope of catching the top 2. The Serbians stopped an 8-game winless run at the weekend with a 2-0 win vs Cukaricki in the domestic league. It was a solid display against a pretty modest team. 

Backa play without any fear in Europe as they enter every game as heavy underdogs. Despite the lack of positive results, Backa scored in every match of the group so far and they carry a threat going forward. 

The squad is close to full strength with only the influential inner midfielder Stanic a potential absentee due to a calf injury. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Ilic (GK), Cvetkovic, Calusic, Djordjevic, Petrovic, Radin, Stojic, Djakovic, Jovanovic, Vulic & Rakonjac

​Player to Watch: Vincenzo Grifo
