Players to watch
Franculino Gluda Dju is Trabzonspor's top scorer in the UEFA Conference League this season with 3 goals. With the hosts scoring in every one of their last 5 matches, his contribution in front of goal will be closely watched.
For Freiburg, Maximilian Eggestein leads the way in the competition with 1 goal. The visitors will be looking for goals from across the side as they try to close the gap on their hosts in the table.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to a Trabzonspor side that is productive in attack and solid at the back. They have scored in all 5 of their last 5 matches and kept a clean sheet in 3 of them. Both teams scored in only 2 of those matches. In the UEFA Conference League, they have scored 6 and conceded 2, and their only home match in the competition ended without them conceding.
Freiburg's recent figures suggest a team that finds the net regularly but has struggled to keep opponents out. They have scored in 4 of their last 5 matches but have not kept a clean sheet in any of them, and both teams scored in 4 of those 5 matches. Their record in the competition of 3 goals scored and 5 conceded reflects the same pattern.
The contrast between Trabzonspor's 3 clean sheets and Freiburg's 0 over their last 5 matches is one of the clearest differences between the two sides heading into this match.
