This encounter takes place in Freiburg when relegated SC hosts promoted Arminia from Bielefeld. The home side has found really far a very good balance and style of play what allowed them to start very well and collect 15 from 18 possible Points so far. They are only one Point behind leader Bochum and additional some Points ahead to third place already. Their aim was the immediately promotion anyway and also almost all experts were very keen about them. The opponent from Bielefeld is fresh promoted and they could hold the motivation high so far as the results were good although they are winless at home. Nevertheless they could get 7 Points and stands in the middle of the table what should be a great success for them if they managed the same place to the end of the Season.
Coach Streich praises Arminia if he has to talk from them and has a lot of respect too. They played really well so far, were very compact and have a good balance between defensive and offensive. Also they are running and fighting like hell and the most important thing maybe the cross balls into the box where attacker Klos is very dangerous then. Therefore Coach Steich requires from his team to be ahead of all actions and press a lot against the ball what need a very good team play today.
Compared to last match on “Betzenberg” it is the same starting lineup expected, maybe only one change can be made by Streich. In central back he has a lot of players ready, with Höhn he has a sure starter while both youngsters Föhrenbach and Kempf replaced suspended veteran Torrejon very well. They did a great job and are really replacements in this part but with the return from Torrejon after suspension he should start beside Höhn today. For sure in starting lineup remain Guede who is very important for Streich, because he can play a lot of positions and make him a good weapon if less alternatives are there. He replaces injured Grifo again who was in great shape before his injury but Guede could bring the performance which was needed to help the team.
On the injury list are the same players as in recent weeks. With Kleindienst, Kübler, Möller Daehli and of course Grifo. Overall not a big problem at all for the game today.
On the press conference Coach Meier talked a lot from Freiburg. He knew the quality and potential from this team and he said also that they are absolutely favorite today. But he does not make some gifts, he wants to see a good organized and powerful team who fights all the 90 minutes and hurts SCF. He mentioned also that they do not have real pressure for this game, they can play without any fear and look forward what they are able to get. Also they want to be as effective as they can and use all their created actions.
They have to go into the game with the same available players like last week. According to their injury list they misses Strifler, Brinkmann, Müller and Salger. Normally this should be not the problem at all because they are missed some weeks now. For Salger plays Behrendt again in central back. In midfield they may field 3 players who are more defensive minded with Schütz focused absolutely on defensive while Ulm should bring the offensive motor rolling. An alternative for Ulm is also very quick Jopek who can create a lot with his fast moves but he is also a good option in second half. In attack one change is sure, top striker Klos returns after he has to pass last weekend due to infect. This time he is back and gives Meier a lot of hope as he is one of the key players for Bielefeld. With him back Nöthe maybe has to move to the left or right offensive wing where he can be an alternative to Görlitz or Hemlein. Whatever Coach Meier has to choose from these guys.
Here we have an encounter which should be clear on paper but we have also two sides which are very powerful. I am very pleased with the match up, Freiburg change in central back again, what may allow Bielefeld to take some advantage with Klos up front. They are also much more dangerous if they paly away from home where they can go for counter attacks what they prefer much more as control the game. On the other side has Freiburg a lot of offensive power and also the weapons to break through the defensive from Bielefeld. In this case I am very keen on goals in this match.
