Freiburg's Nicolas Hofler has been rewarded for his late equaliser against Bayern Munich in the 1-1 draw before the international break with a start for Saturday's clash at Augsburg.
The visitors have opted for two up top with Karim Guede and Sebastian Freis preferred to Mike Hanke, who remains on the bench.
The hosts have Sascha Molders leading their line, with support likely to come from the marauding Halil Altintop from the middle.
