Bayern Munich will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Leipzig when they take on Freiburg in the Bundesliga round 24. The Bavarians showed character in the triumph over the Red Bulls, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to melt Bayer Leverkusen’s advantage in the Bundesliga table. A man to watch in the away team will be Harry Kane, who scored a brace at the weekend, while defender Matthijs de Ligt misses out through suspension.
All Noussair Mazraoui, Kingsley Coman, and Bouna Sarr remain in the recovery room. Christian Streich’s men, on the other hand, produced an under-par performance in a 2-1 loss to Augsburg and given their poor form in February, away win should be considered. All Lukas Kubler, Yannik Keitel, Philipp Lienhart, Kenneth Schmidt, Max Rosenfelder, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh miss out with injuries for the home side.
How the bookies view it
Bayern Munich have been installed as overwhelming favourites and are priced at 4/9 by Wjcasino. Freiburg are considered outsiders with a home win valued 11/2 by BetVictor while a draw is set at odds of 4/1 by Wjcasino.
Head to head
Bayern Munich have a 35-5 advantage with nine draws from 49 previous matches against Freiburg. The Bavarians have also won the last two meetings and claimed s 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in October.
Players to watch
Vincenzo Grifo has been the man in form for Freiburg in recent weeks, with four goals in the last six matches. The forward could be worth keeping an eye on to maintain his scoring run at 18/5 with Unibet.
As always Harry Kane will be the one to watch for Bayern Munich as he looks to improve his tally of 27 Bundesliga goals. The striker is priced at 8/11 by Paddy Power to get on the score sheet once again.
Recent Meetings
- Bayern Munich won four of the previous five clashes with Augsburg.
- The run includes a 3-0 thumping in the return game played in October last year at Allianz Arena.
- We saw three or more goals in all but one of the previous ten head-to-head matches between these counterparts.
Freiburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Freiburg looked horrendous last weekend in Augsburg. Streich has a lot of reasons to worry ahead of the clash with the Bavarian giants. He desperately needs to find a way to fix Freiburg’s defensive holes. Streich’s men conceded at least three goals in four of the previous five league games. They allowed two last Sunday in Augsburg, conceding nine shots on target on the occasion. This is by no means the kind of form you want to carry into the clash against the deadliest attacking line in the country.
Bayern Munich will be highly motivated to keep the title hopes alive with a win as well as boost the confidence ahead of the UEFA Champions League rematch against Lazio next week. We will back the visitors to have the lead at the half time and win the game at full time at the odds of 2.20.
Harry Kane took his Bundesliga tally to 27 goals in 23 outings with a brace against RB Leipzig last weekend. The former Spurs forward will have plenty of space to deliver past the leaky back line of Freiburg’s. We will alternatively back Kane to score anytime at the 1.61 odds.
