Frankfurt fans may have been hoping for a less frantic season, but they look set for another campaign of goals at both ends of the pitch.
The hosts won 3-1 against Mainz 05 on September 12, and games involving them in the Bundesliga have now featured 15 goals despite just three matchweeks taking place.
Boss Adi Hutter will hope that his side can avoid a fifth loss in nine Bundesliga fixtures, though a win would be his third in five games this season.
In terms of injuries, the absence of attacker Ansgar Knauff will almost certainly lead to the selection of Ritsu Doan and Can Uzun behind striker Jonathan Burkardt.
Freiburg come into the weekend's clash on the back of a commanding 5-0 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach on September 12, and they now lead the way at the top of the table due to the fact their goal difference of nine is three more than second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
The club have also won all six of their games in 2026-27, stretching across the Bundesliga, Conference League and DFB-Pokal, and their remarkable form shows no signs of slowing down.
A win for boss Julian Schuster would represent his team's first in nine meetings with Frankfurt, while a defeat would be their fifth in nine clashes with their hosts.
Freiburg's only injury worry is attacker Florent Muslija, but he would likely not have started ahead of Jan-Niklas Beste, Yuito Suzuki, Derry Scherhant and Igor Matanovic anyway.
