SC Freiburg and the Werkself have played each other 45 times. The record from a Black and Red perspective: 20 wins, 13 draws and 12 defeats. There has been an average of 2.78 goals per game.
This will be the second away game at the new SCF ground for the Werkself: The first away fixture at the Europa Park Stadium, which was opened in October 2021, ended in a 2-1 home win for Freiburg in front of a crowd of 750 limited due to the coronavirus restrictions at the time.
SC Freiburg have received praise in the media this season. Justifiably as the team from the Breisgau were established at the top of the table up to the long winter break and at the end of the last year they made another statement of intent with a 4-1 home win against Union Berlin. 30 points, second place, just four points behind FC Bayern – in a good position at the end of the year.

“Year after year, this is an incredibly valuable gathering, both in terms of the content covered and the opportunity for mutual discussion,” stressed Bayer 04 goalkeeping coach David Thiel in his welcoming address at this year’s goalkeeping coaches’ meeting.

Organised by the German Football Association (DFB), the meeting brought together goalkeeping coaches from the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 and the 3rd division from the west region. For the first time this year, goalkeeping coaches from the youth performance centres (NLZ) were also present.
