Baden-Württemberg: Freiburg as a guest at Schalke

Freiburg (dpa/lsw) - Spurred on by the early group win and the first-time entry into the round of 16 of the Europa League, SC Freiburg wants to continue its successful run in the Bundesliga. The Badeners are clearly favored at bottom FC Schalke 04 on Sunday (5:30 p.m. / DAZN). With a win, they would continue to establish themselves in the top flight.

The fact that the Royal Blues have a new coach doesn't necessarily make things any easier, said Christian Streich. A change of coach often brings fresh energy, according to the Freiburg coach. Schalke have been coached by former Bochum coach Thomas Reis since this week. He regrets that ex-coach Frank Kramer and retired sports director Rouven Schröder are no longer with S04, said Streich.
