SC Freiburg - FSV Frankfurt

Although Freiburg played two times draw in a row against Bielefeld 2-2 and Leipzig 1-1 they are able to jump on top with a win today. This is only due to the good results from the opponents this weekend. This can be an additional boost for them and the young team are doing very well and no one has expected that they work so good together from beginning on. But with FSV Frankfurt they face an in form team who managed to win 4 of their last 5 matches what is very positive for them. These are all Points against relegation and they are thinking nothing else. Of course they will be very happy if they get the next Point or Points in Freiburg anyway.

Therefore Freiburg's Coach Streich is warning already from FSV, they are in a very good moment and has a lot of euphoria at the moment what is very dangerous for them today. They have to be very concentrated and absolutely focused on the 90. minutes today. It can be a very hard task to beat this team from FSV, maybe the same as against Bielefeld.
Not many changes expected as the alternatives are less with Kübler, Möller Daehli, Grifo and Föhrenback they miss some again. Also Torrejon has some muscle problems and is a big doubt again. But nevertheless both central defender with Höhn and Kempf are ready, both did a great job lately. In offensive he has with Hufnagel a very good weapon in back who maybe can start today. This player is very hot at the moment and has a lot of self confidence after his goal against Bielefeld.

FSV Coach Oral mentioned some critic in home game to Union with their own supporters but this is gone and he is absolutely focused on this game now. He is very pleased with his team at the moment although the 3-2 win under the week against Union was a bit lucky, maybe a draw should have been deserved for both. He believes that they have a chance in Freiburg too and they are able to get something there. He mentioned that the team from Freiburg is offensive minded and if they can hold the pressure away from the defensive line and manage some counter attacks they can be successfully. But of course they need an excellent day and have to be as compact as they can. If all the other successful matches they like to play offensive minded teams as they can not control a game, they have not the players for this and therefore the counter style is their way for success.
Compared to the last game is captain Konrad slight injured, they hope all that he can play what means that the defensive line and central midfield remain the same. In offensive they may make some changes to bring in some freshness. Also they need fast and quick wings and strikers for their play today. With Dedic they have one who was only on bench last game, also winning goal scorer Schahin can be an option while Kapplani must on bench because he is more a box player. On the wing Barry should start again while on the other wing Engels can replace disappointing Safi.
