They drew 1-1 with group whipping boys Olympiacos in their previous Europa League fixture and they will be looking to close in a style.
Qarabag meanwhile, will do everything to deny Freiburg their flowery end to the group stage as their hopes to continue their European endeavors this season could come up to this game.
