The upcoming 19th round of Germans Bundesliga starts on Friday with the fixture SC Freiburg against VfB Stuttgart. In the league table they are separated by 1 point. Freiburg faces rank 15, Stuttgart is on rank 12.
SC Freiburg started with a 0:2 defeat against Hamburger SV in the spring season. It was their 10th season defeat, five of them received Freiburg at the own stadium. The team of manager Robin Dutt could win only 1 league game in the running championship at the "badenova-Stadium" (1 win, 2 draws, 5 defeats). Therewith they are the weakest home team of the Bundesliga. In the home game against Stuttgart coach Robin Dutt will have to pass on Hamed Namouchi (muscle fibre rupture) and Mohamadou Idrissou who plays for Cameroon at the African Cup of Nations. Idrissou was in the autumn round best Freiburg goal scorer (5 goals).
VfB Stuttgart become under manager Christian Gross stronger and stronger and left the relegation places. They started with a 3:1 at home against VfL Wolfsburg in the second season leg. Stuttgart is still unbeaten since Christian Gross coaches the team. The 3:1 Champions League win against Unirea Urziceni followed a 1:1 draw at Mainz and two 3:1 home victories over Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. The away statistic is negative. Stuttgart has won only 1 away game in the running Bundesliga season (1 win, 3 draws, 4 defeats). Not in squad are Jens Lehmann (suspended), Arthur Boka (Africa Cup) and Martin Lanig (injured).
