Freiburg vs. Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
Julian Schuster's side has struggled on the road this season, ranking 12th in the league for away performances. However, they have been much more confident at home, going unbeaten in 7 of 8 Bundesliga home matches (6 wins, 1 draw). Their strong attacking play is key to these results: Freiburg has scored 12 goals in their last 5 home matches in this tournament. However, it's worth noting that they have kept a clean sheet only once in this span, and that was their only shutout in their last 17 home league matches.
Munich, as usual, is among the top scorers. Vincent Kompany's team has scored in every league match this season, netting 56 goals – the most in the tournament. Bayern also boasts the best defensive record, conceding just 15 goals, though they have allowed goals in 16 of their last 20 away Bundesliga matches.
