On Sunday, starting with 14:30, the Freiburg – Hertha match will be played, within the 13th round of the Bundesliga. Freiburg are unbeaten in 6 of the last 7 direct matches and have not lost at home to Hertha since 2010. Last season, the hosts won 2-1 at home, but lost to Berlin 0-1.
Freiburg has constantly improved its results this season, now having a 4-round unbeaten run. Christian Streich’s students ticked draws with Augsburg (1-1) and Monchengladbach (2-2), along with consecutive victories with Bielefeld and Schalke, both 2-0. Thus, Freiburg performs and climbs to 11th place in the season rankings, with 14 points, keeping a one point advantage over Sunday’s opponent. At home, the “Brazilian club” recorded a single victory, along with 3 draws and two defeats, at a goal average of 9-11.
With only one victory in the last 5 stages, Hertha still has big problems, unresolved by coach Bruno Labbadia. The “white-blues” come after an unconvincing 0-0 with the tail of Mainz, and the 13 accumulated points place it on the 13th place in the ranking. In his travels, Hertha ticked two victories, two draws and two defeats, with a goal difference of 12-8, losing externally only to Bayern (3-4) and Leipzig (1-2). However, the Berliners have a modest record on “Schwarzwald”, where the last victory was achieved in 2010, score 3-0.
