Bayern Munich vs Freiburg

Bayern Munich and Freiburg are set to trade tackles at the Allianz Arena in an exciting Bundesliga match-up.

Last season’s third-place finish to halt their long-term dominance in the Bundesliga has sparked a new energy at Bayern Munich, as witnessed by their free-scoring start to the new campaign. After a 4-0 thrashing of lower-league Ulm in DFB-Pokal action, the Bavarians scooped up a late 3-2 win at Wolfsburg in their top-flight opener, potentially laying the foundation for another scintillating league start. The Bavarians commenced last season on a 12-game unbeaten run and will hope to replicate that feat this term under new manager Vincent Kompany. Despite an underwhelming 2023/24 campaign, Bayern Munich excelled at home, winning 14 of their 17 league matches here, including a 3-0 victory against Freiburg in October 2023. That win forms part of Bayern’s superb record of losing just one of their last 25 home H2Hs in all competitions (W21, D3).

Meanwhile, long-serving manager Christian Streich left Freiburg in the summer after 12 years, with 39-year-old Julian Schuster taking his place in the dugout, aiming to steer the club beyond last season’s 10th-place finish. His tenure has been off to a dream start as ‘Breisgau-Brasilianer’ dismantled Osnabruck 4-0 in DFB-Pokal action before beating 2023/24 Bundesliga runners-up Stuttgart 3-1 at home on his top-flight debut. Schuster’s next assignment has all the makings of a Herculean task as he bids to lead Freiburg to their first-ever away win against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. The visitors can draw confidence from their form resurgence on the road toward the end of last season (W3, D1, L1).
