Match Preview
Pellegrino Matarazzo will be heartened by Stuttgart’s opening-day draw against RB Leipzig after the team narrowly survived the dreaded relegation playoff last year due to goal differential. Although the club’s expansion of the Mercedes-Benz Arena has left one end of Die Roten’s stadium looking like a construction site, it did them no harm last weekend when they held the DFB-Pokal champions to a 1-1 draw.
When the visitors took the lead in the opening eight minutes thanks to a ruthless shot across goal and into the bottom corner from Christopher Nkunku, the outcome did not appear likely. However, Naouirou Ahamada showed maturity and skill beyond his years to tie the game with a deft long-range strike.
After the half, goalkeeper Florian Muller was in brilliant form, stopping Nkunku from close range before saving Willi Orban’s thunderous header with his best effort saved for last. Freiburg’s sixth-place performance in the previous campaign was their best since 2012–13, ironically Christian Streich’s first full season as the club’s head coach after serving in that capacity since December 2011.
Streich is just six days short of surpassing Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid in terms of length of tenure as a club’s head coach in one of the top five leagues in Europe. Even so, the 57-year-old is doing a great job, as seen by his team’s lack of displays of disappointment following last weekend’s 4-0 home victory over Augsburg and May’s agonizing penalty shootout loss to RB Leipzig in the DFB-Pokal final.
After a scoreless first half, new acquisition Michael Gregoritsch scored on his debut against his previous team 16 seconds into the second half. Given his height and presence in the opponent’s penalty area, the 28-year-old could become an invaluable free transfer for Freiburg. Vincenzo Grifo demonstrated his free-kick prowess by getting the ball over Augsburg goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz into the far top corner of the net to double his side’s lead.
With so many new signings making an immediate effect, Freiburg’s opening few games of the season scarcely could have gone much better.
VfB Stuttgart vs SC Freiburg Team News
- VfB Stuttgart
Tanguy Coulibaly, a crucial winger for Stuttgart, is still sidelined with a toe injury. Without any significant alterations from Matarazzo following a successful performance against Leipzig, the line will be led by Kalajdzic, who has been linked to Manchester United.
Borna Sosa is still uncertain as he works to improve his match fitness, and it’s also doubtful that he’ll travel with Florian Schock, Thomas Kastanaras, and Nikolas Nartey.
- SC Freiburg
Streich is doubtful to make any adjustments to the starting lineup that defeated Augsburg with great ease after such a solid opening-day performance. Injuries have forced the withdrawal of Lucas Holer, Kevin Schade, and Kimberly Ezekwem, while a thigh issue has Lukas Kubler in doubt.
