with 44 points from the 23 games played and are eight points adrift of the top.

is the evidence.

result in the end as the relegation contenders will be determined to put up a fight.
“We can't afford to underestimate them. They were outstanding on the day. We have to be totally focused and mustn't drop our concentration. You don't win there just by turning up. Freiburg will push us and we need to meet the challenge,”
he was quoted as saying in an interview to the club’s official website.
