What's new for Freiburg this season. Of course, I said it already that they lost a lot of players and all of them very important for their play. Nevertheless they have to work with the guys who are there and Coach Streich must bring the best possible lineup and system on the pitch. The defensive work is not the same from last year as you can see on the numbers above and it could not be with new players, of course. Also they have a lot of matches now and this is the next key fact what makes it not much easier for them with their small squad. On Tuesday they played in EL where they took the lead 2-0 but with a lot of mistakes they did them not a favor and played only 2-2 in the end.
Newcomer Hertha is back in BL and they managed to start better as two years ago. Coach Luhukay is a very experienced Coach and he knows exactly what is to do. He motivates his team very well and he had also a good tactic for their play. They lost their last matches against Stuttgart but they were absolutely unlucky in this one, they should have won 2,3,4-1 but this is football and sometimes you have such days. Therefore they want to get the Points back today and against a tired side from Freiburg it can be a clear advantage that they could prepare the whole week for this encounter.
VfB Stuttgart - Eintracht Frankfurt
- It is not the best opponent for Frankfurt, they won only one from their last 12 vs. VfB (1-2-9).
- Eintracht's new top striker Kadlec had 3 goals and 1 assist in his first 3 matches so far.
- Stuttgart's top man is Maxim at the moment with 2 goals and 3 assist.
- VfB Stuttgart allowed to much in their last 17 matches, they could not keep a clean sheet in 16 !!!
- Eintracht Frankfurt lost only 2 of their last 9 starts on the road.
Unavailable players for VfB: Niedermeier, Didavi, Leitner, Rojas.
Eintracht miss four but they are all very important with Oczipka, Meier, Schwegler, Rosenthal.
Wow new coach Schneider celebrated two wins with his team in the past and it looks like that they are on a good way now. They missed the EL spot due to the knock out in qualification against Rijeka but in BL they showed better performances. They can concentrate now on Bundesliga and also on Cup where they have to play against Freiburg next week. Overall the team understand Coach Schneider immediately and they work well together what was not the case with Labbadia in the end. Success is back but they have to continue their way anyway.
EL starter Frankfurt made his job and won their home match against Bordeaux even if the french rested 7-8 regulars. Despite this they had a good comeback after many years on the international stage. Overall Coach Veh has formed a very good team and they are very good at the moment, to beginning they had some problems according to their schedule because they had to play against Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, both giant of the Bundesliga. Both matches were lost from Frankfurt but they showed that they are capable to competed with them. After this they won two matches in a row now but they are still a bit away from the top places but they are on a good way if they can repeat their performances in the past. Whether they miss some important guys.
