Strong home tally
From the last 15 home games in the Bundesliga against SC Freiburg, the Cannstatt Boys won twelve and played out two draws – such as when the teams last met in April 2015 (final score 2-2). On that occasion, Daniel Ginczek was on target with the opening goal.
Rock-solid!
In his first four home games with VfB in the Bundesliga, goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler conceded just one goal – the top value in the league.
Carreer start
VfB defender Dennis Aogo made his Bundesliga debut in the SC Freiburg colours back in October 2004. By June 2008, the defender had made 94 league appearances for the club.
Familiar faces
Freiburg captain Julian Schuster made his professional debut for VfB in October 2007. In July 2008, he made the move to Freiburg for whom he has since played 208 league games.
Another former VfB player in the Freiburg squad is Georg Niedermeier. The defender made over 150 league appearances in the shirt with the infamous red hoop before signing for coach Christan Streich’s team in the summer of 2016.
