1.FC Nürnberg - SC Freiburg

FCN's new Coach Verbeek

Wow, what a match here. Both stand on the bottom of the table and both were not able to win a single match after 10 Rounds. Ok, Freiburg maybe has a lot to invest according to their big lose from half of the team before the season and also the additional EL matches what cost a lot of energy. On the other side Nürnberg find not a way to win so far but played often draw, this was maybe to less and they changed their Coach, but nothing changed in results as the new man on the sideline got also a draw in his first match in Stuttgart last Friday. Nevertheless the team look a bit better and he wants to force the style of play much more as in the past, he wants to have more ball possession as he counts almost on the same style as van Gaal, ok both are from Netherlands. Maybe Nürnberg is able to bring this on pitch but their biggest problem is not solved then anyway. They need far to much that they score a goal or they are more as harmless in creating chances. Overall this can change too if they are able to be as dominant as they can in their play and sooner or later they are able to get much more dangerous. The offensive players are there fore sure. They have some quick players in their rows and this can be the key anyway if they play some counter attacks. The goal in Stuttgart was a good sign about this and they played fast and in this action Drmic finished the good play with an excellent goal. Defensive row looked compact, and they allowed not much against Stuttgart. This give a lot of hope that they are able to win sooner or later matches in BL. If they want to come out from the red zone they must begin as far as they can.

This Freiburg team is far away from last season, ok they invest a lot and they try a lot but they are more as harmless in the past matches and they made to many mistakes what cost Points additional. In EL they played well but were never able to score the second goal and why they open after 1-0 lead to conceded the equalizer probably remain a mystery. Also the three important mistakes from keeper Baumann against Hamburg on sunday were absolutely inexplicable. Coach Streich was always ahead of his team but after the last games he departed from them. Maybe he does not know what to do that success comes back to Freiburg. Overall they are to harmless this season and no know from the players is able to lead this team. Ok, most of the guys are young and they must learn from day to day or even from match to match but the situation is getting worse now. To begin it was much better as in the past, they are all nervous and make a lot of mistakes now and exactly they do not need this at the moment. They must be as professional as they can and allow not such easy goals. With this important match ahead, it is almost a must win situation when they no longer want to be stuck in red zone.

Overall the stats speaks clear for Freiburg but Nürnberg changed their coach and this give them some boost too. Nevertheless since 8 matches is Nürnberg winless against Freiburg (0-3-5) and they could only win 3 from 16 BL games (3-5-8). Both teams try to get the win here but both are more very ineffective in scoring goals but on the other side both conceded a lot. Maybe this can be a good opportunity to get involved in this match after 20-30 minutes for goals. If one team can take the lead this match can be very open what give use some good in running action.
