SC Freiburg are the sole leaders of the Bundesliga after the third matchday. This is discussed in the latest episode of the weekly podcast 'Und nun zum Sport' by Süddeutsche Zeitung, released on Monday.
Sebastian Fischer and Thomas Hürner talked with Martin Schneider about the weekend's action. They examined the crisis at Borussia Mönchengladbach, which saw the season's first managerial dismissal, and the disastrous start for Hamburger SV with a goal difference of minus twelve. In stark contrast is SC Freiburg's flawless run. The team has nine points from three games and tops the table having scored ten goals and conceded just one. Their latest victory was a 5-0 win against that same Gladbach side last Saturday.
The podcasters analysed what the club has done correctly so far. They highlighted the strong defence and efficient attack. With three goals in three games, striker Igor Matanović is currently the team's top scorer. The full stats for the season illustrate the dominance. Given these performances, the conversation also speculated about potentially overlooked players who could be considered for Jürgen Klopp's first national team squad announcement on Thursday.
The league leaders' next challenge comes on Saturday in an away fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt. Frankfurt currently sit in ninth place. All upcoming fixtures can be viewed online. The podcast 'Und nun zum Sport' is available on all major platforms including iTunes, Spotify, and RTL.
