On Friday Feb 3rd, Freiburg II will host Bayreuth at Möslestadion in a clash of these two extremely mismatched 3. Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 4 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Freiburg II is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Erzgebirge Aue. Neither Erzgebirge Aue nor Freiburg II could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 8 and 14 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Freiburg II should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while bayreuth sits at 17th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Ingolstadt. Ziereis struck first for Bayreuth in the 17th minute on a feed from Jann George, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Ingolstadt couldn’t muster any offence and Bayreuth ran away with the shutout win. Bayreuth is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on the 6th of August, Freiburg II took the match by a score of 1 to 0. Vincent Vermeij struck first for Freiburg II in the 88th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Bayreuth was frustrated by Freiburg II’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Freiburg II ended the match with the shutout victory.
Bayreuth’s top weapon lately has been Markus Ziereis, who has two goals in the last 5 matches. Maximilian Breunig and Julian Stark are the top scorers for Freiburg II in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
