1899 Hoffenheim - SC Freiburg

After a horrible first half Hoffenheim is in huge danger now. They want to change a lot and therefore they signed Manager Müller, new coach Kurz and also some new players but as always success is not purchasable. Some misunderstanding in and around the team above all with defender Compper who left to AC Florenz last week. Many areas under construction and manager and coach has a lot to do and manage to get 1899 back on track. They started balanced and organized into 2013 and got a 0-0 draw against Gladbach at home but created not much but it seems that Kurz has made a good job and the defensive worked much much better as before the break. One week later against Frankfurt they played also well but with some mistakes in defensive again and according to this they lost 1-2. Maybe they were the better side and invest a lot but in the end, the only thing what count in the result. With this lose they fall down to place 17. and this means direct relegation. They have to improve more and maybe got some offensive power back because of the huge focus on defensive their offensive suffers. Above all Derdioyk are far away from his best form, and the others are not much better, therefore they signed deCamargo from Bor. M’Gladbach on loan this week. He should help to get some dangerousness back in their play. But overall it is very hard to see that they are stable enough because they got a lof of new players and coach Kurz has a lot to do. The new players need time but they do not have much, in this case it is hard to see without any mistakes today.

What a excellent season from SC Freiburg so far. They are close to top 6 and if they continue like in the past they are for sure one of the candidates for an international place next season. Sure, no one of Freiburg’s Club want to hear or speak about this due to bad memories in the past. But if they reach it, it would be second time in their club history and perhaps thank to one man who makes this almost possible, coach Streich who leads his team very well and everyone follow him. His work is great so far and if you can take a look at some stats it is very hard to beat this team from Freiburg as they fight in every match till the end and give a lot. Additional they have one of the best defensive in 1.BL and conceded less – with only 18 goals against them they have only an average from 0,95 / each game. For a small club like Freiburg a huge value and almost the only key for their success.  The system developed by coach Streich of good positional play and compactness of the whole team is unparalleled in 1.BL and they big plus against other teams at the moment. The positive attitude of the trainer, who exemplifies all that even brings additional energy. Freiburg's only goal to avoid relegation  is almost done, and thus they can occur almost no pressure and have fun in their matches. Of course, this bring some danger but the coach certainly controls against and all should go their way as expected.

Overall I think it is very hard to play against such an organized team like Freiburg who knows their strength and give almost all in every match. It is a big hurdle for Hoffenheim right now and with their problems who can not be solved all a hard task. I see Freiburg much ahead of Hoffenheim at the moment and in this case I have to go with them.
