Nantes vs Freiburg: SC Freiburg became one of the first teams to seal a spot in the knockouts with two rounds remaining. The Bundesliga team is having a successful European campaign. In addition to their stellar performances in the domestic league.
Freiburg is currently unbeaten after four games in Group G of the Europa League. Only one German team, 1899 Hoffenheim in the 2020–21 season, has ever had a better opening to the main tournament. The goal differential of the South Germans stands out as being particularly interesting. Freiburg has only allowed one goal while scoring eleven goals.
Freiburg’s goalkeeper Mark Flek, who made sure his team kept a clean sheet, was the match’s unsung hero. The 29-year-old Dutchman has had a strong start to the season in the Bundesliga and is continuing that trend in Europe. In the Europa League, he has the best percentage of saves (92.31%) of any goalkeeper. The opposition is far behind as a result.
Nantes vs Freiburg: Mark Flek the star of the game
The opposition of Freiburg is predicted to have 2.77 more goals on target. Fleks thus nearly stopped two goals from being scored. Flek can therefore achieve comparable results in the Bundesliga. A significant challenge will be presented to Fleks and team on Sunday when they go to Bayern Munich.
Streich revealed his expectations for the Bundesliga match on matchday 10 after Nantes’ victory in his typically emotive fashion. “I hope that we will see a tremendous game – not only from Bayern, but also from us,” he said in response. The athletic club’s confidence should have been boosted even more by the four goals (Lukas Kübler, Michael Gregoritsch, Jeong Woo-yeong, and an opponent’s own goal) and the clean sheet from the Nantes game. Streich says it doesn’t matter if Bayern had an extra day off because they won 4-2 on Wednesday in Pilsen in the Champions League: “We’re fine and we’ll defend ourselves with everything we’ve got. Bayern will obviously attack us on Sunday, but we’re not worried,” declared Streich.
