Freiburg
In their second consecutive away match in the league, Julian Schuster's side conceded exactly four goals. While Freiburg managed to score once against Eintracht Frankfurt, they suffered a clean-sheet defeat to Stuttgart in the last round. The club has lost three of their last four Bundesliga matches (1 win), yet this poor run still keeps them in the top half of the standings. However, Freiburg ranks fifth from the bottom in terms of goals conceded.
- The team has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight league matches.
- At home, Freiburg is unbeaten in their last five Bundesliga games (4 wins, 1 draw).
- In four of their last five home matches in this tournament, the club scored exactly three goals.
Bayern Munich
Following their thrashing of Hoffenheim, the Munich side secured a narrower victory over Wolfsburg (3-2), marking their fourth consecutive league win. It’s worth noting that during this stretch, Vincent Kompany's team has only scored fewer than three goals once. Bayern continues to lead the standings, maintaining a four-point cushion over their nearest rival.
Midfielder Konrad Laimer will miss the match due to suspension.
- The club has kept a clean sheet in half of their matches this season.
- Bayern has scored first more often than any other team in the 2024/25 Bundesliga – 15 times.
- In six of their last eight away matches in this tournament, Bayern has not conceded more than one goal.
Freiburg vs. Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
Julian Schuster's side has struggled on the road this season, ranking 12th in the league based on away performance. However, they have been much more confident at home, going unbeaten in seven of their eight Bundesliga matches this season (6 wins, 1 draw). Their impressive home results are largely due to strong attacking displays: Freiburg has scored 12 goals in their last five home matches in this tournament. It’s worth noting, though, that they’ve only kept a clean sheet once during that period. Moreover, it’s their only shutout in their last 17 home league games.
Bayern Munich remains at the top in terms of scoring. Vincent Kompany's team has found the net in every league match this season, amassing 56 goals – the most in the tournament. Additionally, Bayern boasts the best defensive record, having conceded just 15 goals, though they have allowed goals in 16 of their last 20 away Bundesliga matches. It’s also worth mentioning that the club will play this match amidst the demands of the Champions League, which could affect the players' condition.
Both teams have scored in eight of the last ten head-to-head meetings at Freiburg's home ground in the Bundesliga. This is another factor supporting the prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
