Something is going on really wrong with Freiburg these days. Because they conceded nine goals in the last two games while scoring only two. Maybe the red card they got against Dortmund helped quite much but there wasn't such situation in the game against Stuttgart. There is a huge difference between the Freiburg this season and the last one.
They need to make a huge improvement in especially defensive effort. Because it has got much poorer. Dortmund needed this win as well by the way because they got two easy draws against smaller teams before.
The problem that they are facing, is definitely defensive. A club that has finished on the fifth position in the last season has to perform better. They had started the season pretty well. They got two wins in the first two matches. But in the last two matches, the performance was really bad. Hopefully they will be able to improve. We cannot judge how they are going to perform based on the performance of only the four matches that they have played so far. So I think they will definitely improve, but the improvement will have to be quick. Otherwise they will fall way behind.
