Stuttgart have been really interesting so far. Because they got another sensational win by 5-0 and it was even against Freiburg. You know how decent Freiburg have been in the league in the recent years. They have been competitive for top four even though they couldn't manage to make it. Therefore seeing this loss against Stuttgart was shocking.
Freiburg actually made a good start to the season until this game. I wonder how their defense was this vulnerable against Stuttgart. Despite getting a big loss against Leipzig it still didn't prevented Stuttgart from concentrating amazingly on the Freiburg game.
They were just lucky or Freiburg were in their poor form earlier this season, if you take a closer look at the statistics then you will understand that Stuttgart win isn't a win that stems from their great game. They don't dominate from any side, let's say one of the sides they control.
Ball possession? No, they even only have 48% there.
Attempt shot? Of course not, Freiburg played more dominantly in attack, which is why I say that Stuttgart was just lucky.
It's a surprise in football and things like this can happen.
Looking at the statistics I think it is quite comparable but indeed the condition of the Freiburg defense is quite different in this match, especially after Freiburg conceded 2 goals, they went all out in attack, which in fact for the 3-5 goal it happened because of Freiburg's own mistakes because they left their defense line too empty and fast counterattacks through direct passes were all successfully maximized into goals by the players from Stuttgart.
But indeed for Stuttgart's quick counter-attacks this must be thumbs up in this match because they really played very well even though this is a surprise and very rarely things like this happen but they need to celebrate this victory.
