Borussia Dortmund - SC Freiburg

After five wins in a row to beginning of the season Borussia Dortmund’s run ended last weekend. It was only due to their bad performance and wasting of good opportunities. It was from everything a bit, even their injury problems and also the rotation from Coach Klopp too. He rested some players and let them only on bench. Unknown players were in starting lineup like Ducksch and after Schmelzer got injured Drum. This means that it was a bit too much for them. Although they controlled the game but in the end they had almost lost the match if Esswein has scored. In their Cup match under the week they need long time to break through the defensive wall from 1860 Munich. Although they had a lot of shots on post and bar they were not able to decide this match early, only at least in Extra time where a penalty brought them on winning way. At the end 2-0 but they showed again that they need too many chances this season. This happen already in their two first home matches where they wasted a lot against Braunschweig and Bremen and celebrated only a narrow win. Against HSV they showed their real potential but HSV defensive was not able to stop the fast players from Dortmund and gave a lot of space what Aubameang, Reus, Kuba and Lewandowski know to use. Many doubtful players stand on the pitch against 1860, therefore we can expect them that they are ready for this match again. Schmelzer did not play in Cup and is a doubt here too, therefore Drum can take his place again. The other positions are normally clear.

Once again, I wrote many times about Freiburg and I do it again. Normally I can copy paste from all the write ups so far. This team has nothing to do with last season and they are getting more and more problems the more games are on schedule. This is their fourth match in ten days and for their small squad not even easy. They lost a lot of power in the past matches and cost them maybe a lot of Points anyway. They are winless so far and it looks like that they are one of the team who fights against relegation. No one of the players knows the big handicap to play in all three competitions. This is a big advantage for them too and absolutely hard to handle for this small club. If they get some injuries or suspension as well it is getting difficult. Coach Streich is still very positive but he said also that the quality of his team is maybe to less. All know that this will be a very hard season and they have to fight for their place in 1.Bundesliga. Despite of everything, all are very focused and quiet in and around the club and they work hard for their goal. Maybe they have some hopes in hand with injured new signing Darida who could not train and play according to injury so far. Also Pilar (maybe ready for some minutes), Terrazzino, Krmas and Mujdza are still injured. All five maybe can help if they are fit again.

If BvB can bring their normal performance on the pitch it can be enough for Freiburg. It means that they should not waste with their chances as in their first two matches at home. If they can play like there it is absolutely no doubt that Dortmund win this match. Their record is excellent against Freiburg and this can continue anyway. Despite Freiburg's Cup success against Stuttgart who give them a lot of self confidence and motivation back and also believe in them for the first League win this season. Nevertheless I think Borussia is to strong with their excellent players and I have to take them here.
