Christian Streich is trying to break a spell on Saturday: The SC Freiburg coach has never won away at Borussia Dortmund.

Coach Christian Streich of Bundesliga football club SC Freiburg has clear expectations of his professionals ahead of Saturday’s match at Borussia Dortmund (3.30pm/Sky).

“We want to give Dortmund a run for their money. We are not afraid. We’re kicking – we’re not on the run from anything,” the 57-year-old said on Thursday: “It will be very important that we are clear-headed, that we show presence, that we don’t hide and that we are brave.”

In Dortmund, the fourth-placed team in the table will meet the fifth-placed team, who are level on points. Both teams are three points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Under the direction of successful coach Streich, Sport-Club have never won at BVB and have only picked up one point in ten games.

“That annoys me a lot. But I’m not completely desperate,” commented Streich on the poor record: “Statistically, it can hardly get any worse. “

After all, the coach can draw on a full complement of players – but that also worries him: “The decision-making process is difficult. That’s what concerns me. “
