Bayern Munich will be looking to maintain the pressure on leaders Bayer Leverkusen as they travel to Freiburg for a Friday night Bundesliga fixture. Things have not been particularly smooth for the Bavarians lately but given their superb record in this fixture and with the hosts struggling at the moment, they should claim the upper hand.
Freiburg appear to be going through a rough patch at the moment as they are winless in their last five Bundesliga matches. They have lost four times in that run and are currently ninth on the standings, well off the European places.
Christian Streich’s men are coming off a 2-1 defeat to Augsburg in their previous Bundesliga fixture. They took an early lead through Vincenzo Grifo and held on for long periods before capitulating deep into the second half.
Things appear a bit better at home for Freiburg, who have lost just once in their last seven Bundesliga matches at Europa-Park Stadion. However, they have only picked up two wins in that run and are winless in their last two Bundesliga fixtures in front of their fans.
Bayern Munich travel to Freiburg off the back of a 2-1 victory over RB Leipzig last time out in the Bundesliga. They were given a stern test by Leipzig and needed an injury time effort from Harry Kane to secure the win.
That was an all important result for Bayern Munich as it ended a run of three straight defeats across all competitions. It also ensured Thomas Tuchel’s men did not fall further behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen as the deficit remains at eight points.
Bayern Munich have also found things difficult on their travels, suffering three defeats in their last five away matches. However, there have been a few key wins on the road this season, including a 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund and a 3-2 win at Augsburg.
