Freiburg have made a blistering start to their Bundesliga campaign, finding themselves 2nd - though only by goal difference, having only lost one game, which was to Borussia Dortmund. They come into this game on the back of a 2-1 home win over Mainz. Their Europa League campaign has also been really positive, scoring five, conceding only one and winning both games. Nantes on the other hand are already looking over their shoulders to the relegation zone in Ligue 1, with a slightly better goal difference than Reims being the only difference between them being in the bottom four. Monaco, who are also in Europa League action beat them 4-1 on Sunday in the lead up to this game. Their Europa League campaign has seen them grab a stoppage time 2-1 win over Greek side Olympiacos in their opening game, before being convincingly beaten by current Azerbaijan champions Qarabag 3-0.
