本场比赛斯图加特主力中卫马夫罗帕诺斯因伤缺阵,他在上轮对阵云达不莱梅的比赛后被检查出膝盖受伤,球员还需要接受进一步的检查,具体伤缺时间未知。由于上赛季在球队的出色表现(33场5球),今夏斯图加特花费320万欧元从阿森纳将马夫罗帕诺斯买断,他与球队签下了一份3年合约。
斯图加特高中锋卡莱季奇在8月初伤愈复出,回归后他展现出良好状态,两场比赛全部首发出战,成为球队锋线支点的同时共送出3次助攻。他近期的出色表现也引起了其他球队的关注,据英国媒体报道曼联正在考虑引进这名身高高达200cm的高中锋。
本场比赛弗赖堡主力右后卫库布勒因伤缺阵,他在对阵凯泽斯劳滕的德国杯首轮比赛中髋关节受伤,他预计要到9月上旬完全康复。上赛季库布勒代表弗赖堡各项赛事出场33次,其中31次首发,打进2球。
上轮对阵多特蒙德的比赛,弗赖堡1-3输球,这场比赛最让人印象深刻的一幕是弗赖堡门将弗莱肯的低级失误,这名荷兰门将的黄油手让对手将比分扳平,这也成为了本场比赛转折点,赛后评分弗莱肯全场最低。这样的糟糕失误让主帅施特赖希非常恼火,本场比赛弗莱肯可能会被拿下,乌普霍夫或许会首发出战。
