Freiburg look set to revert to a more attacking formation at home to Hertha after losing 5-0 at Bayern Munich last weekend. Liverpool loanee Ryan Kent made his first Bundesliga start in that game, but is expected to revert to the bench on Sunday as Freiburg look to leapfrog their visitors from the capital.

Mathew Leckie is set to return to the Hertha starting line-up after being rested against Zorya Luhansk in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, while Vedad Ibisevic could also feature after serving a two-match domestic suspension. Genki Haraguchi, however, misses out after being sent off in the 2-0 defeat to Schalke on Matchday 8.
