Chance to win the title: relatively high.

SC Freiburg: One of the smallest clubs can count on a calm environment and a coach who is said to be the league's most passionate manager, Christian Streich.

Aside from Streichs demands for a high standard regarding running figures has the side from Germany's South-West increased its squad's quality.

Chance to win the title: To reach an international competition seems the upmost. That is no problem as no one is talking about the title.

DISAPPOINTMENT

Frankfurt: The team that reached the Euro League semifinal (5-4 against Chelsea in aggregate) a year ago seems to run out of breath after seven games without a victory before the winter break.

Eintracht has reached its limits as Austrian coach Adi Huetter is admitting: "We are done for now and need to recover."

Only one victory in eight away-games might tell the story of an exhausted team that seems out of balance. Instead of international fame, nerve-wracking relegation battles are waiting.

Dortmund: Is position four with seven points behind the leader a disappointment? Yes. The Blacks and Yellows expressed goal after last season's second place was to win the title.

The team's inconsistency remains the biggest problem. Coach Lucien Favre remains under fire and failed to do the next step. Having skipped plans to sign a true spearhead turns out to be a fatal mistake.
