Freiburg Form
In the previous round, Julian Schuster’s men ended a three-match winless run by beating St Pauli away from home (2:1). Before that, the club had taken just one point from three matches (1 draw, 2 defeats). Freiburg are now eighth, but the gap to the European qualification places is already nine points and, given the recent results, they can almost forget about fighting for a ticket to Europe. At the same time, the defence remains the team’s weak spot: 44 goals conceded in 27 matchdays. That is one of the worst records among the top eight, and the side have also failed to keep a clean sheet in six straight matches.
In 13 home matches in the 2025/26 season, Freiburg have recorded seven wins (4 draws, 2 defeats).
Both teams have scored in five of the club’s last seven home league games.
The team have conceded in six consecutive Bundesliga matches.
Potential Freiburg Lineup (5-4-1)
Noah Atubolu – Jordy Makengo, Bruno Ogbus, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Treu, Jan-Niklas Beste – Johan Manzambi, Maximilian Eggestein, Vincenzo Grifo, Yuito Suzuki – Igor Matanovic
Defender Max Rosenfelder and midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh will miss the match through injury.
Bayern Munich Form
Bayern Munich continue to top the standings, having collected 70 points from 27 matchdays and holding a nine-point advantage over Borussia Dortmund. In their latest outing, Vincent Kompany’s men thrashed Union at home (4:0), quickly bouncing back from a recent away draw with Bayer Leverkusen (1:1). The club have also been successful on the international stage: in the Champions League round of 16, Bayern Munich confidently eliminated Atalanta, winning 10:2 on aggregate over two legs. In the 2025/26 campaign, the club have suffered only two defeats in all competitions. The team’s scoring has also been impressive: Bayern Munich are finding the net in abundance – averaging almost four goals per game.
Bayern Munich’s scoring run in the league has now reached 39 matches.
In 13 away matches this season, the club have recorded 10 wins (3 draws).
Bayern Munich have scored at least twice in seven of their last eight Bundesliga matches.
Potential Bayern Munich Lineup (4-5-1)
Jonas Urbig – Konrad Laimer, Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah – Michael Olise, Lennart Karl, Joshua Kimmich, Luis Diaz, Aleksandar Pavlovic – Harry Kane.
Defender Alphonso Davies, midfielder Jamal Musiala, and goalkeepers Sven Ulreich and Manuel Neuer are injured. Forward Nicolas Jackson is suspended.
