Below are the key stats from the first ever fixture against the side from the Black Forest.
HOME COMFORTS | Juventus are unbeaten in each of their 11 home games played in the Europa League, with four wins and seven draws, and have won each of their last three European meetings against German sides - as many as they won in their previous 12.
DOUBLE DIGITS | Ángel Di María (7 goals, 3 assists) is one of three midfielders in Europe's top-5 leagues to reach double figures in goal involvement in all competitions in 2023, alongside van den Boomen (10) and Bruno Fernandes (12).
HELPING OUT | Since his Europa League debut in 2018/19 campaign, Filip Kostić is one of only two players to have delivered at least 10 assists in the competition, alongside Bruno Fernandes (11).
WORTH THE WAIT | Juventus have not conceded a single shot during the first half of a European competition match for the first time since 7 November 2012, in the UEFA Champions League against Nordsjælland.
FREIBURG FROZEN | Against Juve, Freiburg fired their fewest shots in a single match in all competitions this season (just 1) and have remained winless in three consecutive games in a single season in Europe for the first time since November 2013 (four).
