Coach Christian Streich is looking forward to the duel between SC Freiburg and 1. FC Union Berlin at the end of an outstanding first half of the season.
Freiburg – The chase duel at the end of Sunday’s Bundesliga matchday 15 (17:30 / DAZN) was a “highlight” for him, said Streich: “SC Freiburg play against Union Berlin, and not the seventeenth played against the eighteenth, as everyone knows – what more do we want?”.
The club recently had a tough time against Irons, Freiburg winning just one of their six games in the Bundesliga. “I’m really looking forward to playing because it’s a new opportunity to compete against a team that has an approach that I’ve never had as an opponent,” said Streich.
Union has an “incredibly good defensive gene from a tactical point of view”. However, his team enters the game “with the belief that they can survive”. Ghanaian international and World Cup prospect Daniel-Kofi Kyereh will continue to miss out with an infection in his last game before the winter break. But Noah Weißhaupt, who was called up to the Germany U21 squad for the first time this week, is back. dpa
