Bayern Munich vs Freiburg

Bayern Munich and Freiburg go head-to-head at the Allianz Arena in a Bundesliga top-three six-pointer.

Bayern Munich made light work of their Champions League match against Benfica in midweek, claiming a commanding 5-2 victory at home to seal a place in the competition’s knock-outs. Now back to league duties, the ‘Bavarians’ will be aiming to build on their three consecutive Bundesliga victories, a run that saw them score 14 goals while conceding just three in return. Julian Nagelsmann’s men have been relentless in the front third this season, already netting a staggering 38 Bundesliga goals, more than any other German side so far. Coming into this matchday, the perennial Bundesliga champions have accrued 25 points from ten top-flight matches, their best league start in six years. Their imperious form is likely to go on here, as they’ve never lost a Bundesliga encounter against Freiburg at home (W18, D3).

But Freiburg will be looking to prove they are not pushovers on the back of an impressive Bundesliga start, as they remain the only team yet to lose a match in Germany’s top-flight this term (W6, D4). Manager Christian Streich has based his side’s eye-catching success on a rock-solid backline that has conceded a league-low seven Bundesliga goals this season. Though they are the only side yet to hit double digits in terms of the league goals conceded, the ‘Breisgau-Brasilianer’ have to be wary of the fact they’ve conceded 3+ goals in three of their last five top-flight visits to Bayern. If they miraculously avoid defeat here, it would see Freiburg go unbeaten in 11 consecutive Bundesliga matches for the first time in the club’s history.
