Team News: Mike Hanke starts for Freiburg

Mike Hanke has been selected to start up front for Freiburg's away trip to Eintracht Braunschweig, although there is no place in the XI for Francis Coquelin.

Sebastian Freis and Vaclav Pilar are named on the right and left respectively to provide width to what is a fairly defensive lineup from Christian Streich.

It is the typical front three for the hosts, with Dominick Kumbela supported from wide by Mirko Boland and Karim Bellarabi.
