Freiburg vs. Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
Julian Schuster's side has struggled away from home this season, ranking 12th in the away table, but they are much more confident at home, unbeaten in 7 of their 8 Bundesliga matches in 2024/25 (6 wins, 1 draw). Their success is largely due to strong attacking performances: 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 during this period, and it's their only clean sheet in their last 17 home league games.
Bayern, as usual, is at the top in terms of scoring. Vincent Kompany's team has scored in every match this season, racking up 56 goals – the most in the tournament. Bayern also boasts the best defensive record, conceding only 15 goals, but they have allowed goals in 16 of their last 20 away Bundesliga matches. Additionally, the team will play this match amid the demands of the Champions League, which might affect the players' fitness levels.
It's also worth mentioning that both teams have scored in 8 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings at Freiburg's ground in the Bundesliga. This is another factor supporting the prediction Both teams to score – yes
