Freiburg seem to be more successful than the previous season for now. There haven't been many players to leave the team compared to the previous season actually. Schlotterbeck was an important loss for the team of course. He joined Dortmund for 20 million euros and Freiburg lost a young talent in defense. Matthias Ginter was signed on a free transfer which was still a good job for them. Currently they are the second least conceding team in the league after Bayern Munich. Maybe Bayern Munich scored double the number of Freiburg scored but the gap between them is still only four points.
This is a good success for Freiburg but let's see how long they can keep this level. They barely missed the chance of finishing the season in top 4 while fighting with Leipzig for that. This time maybe they can finally achieve their goal even more comfortably.
I don't have much information for the players from SC Freiburg. however, so far they have been quite impressive from match to match. in 15 matches in the Bundesliga, they only got 3 defeats and 3 draws. with a score of 30 points, made Freiburg ranked 2nd in the Bundesliga standings. different when compared to last season, which managed to finish in 6th place by scoring 55 points.
next, the second half of the Bundesliga season will start again soon. what is certain is not an easy job for the coach "Christian Streich", to maintain their ranking. the reason is, currently RB Leipzig is below Frieburg's ranking by only 2 points.
IMO, from a strength perspective, Leipzig has more potential to shift Freiburg's ranking. after all, Frankfurt, Union Berlin and Dortmund will struggle to finish in the top four of the Bundesliga until the end of this season. I guess, after the second half of the season rolls back. most likely, Freiburg will find it difficult to maintain its ranking. and the one closest to shifting Freiburg's ranking is RB Leipzig.
