SC Freiburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Bayern currently have a four-point lead over second-place Leverkusen.

Freiburg will host Bayern Munich in this Bundesliga clash riding a solid home run, unbeaten in their last six games at the Europa-Park Stadion.

However, Freiburg’s defensive vulnerabilities, having conceded in seven straight matches, could prove costly against Bayern’s relentless attack. Their last home victory against the Bavarian giants came in 2015, and history doesn’t favour them with just five wins in 52 meetings.

On the other hand, Bayern are in red-hot form, boasting a four-game winning streak and an average of 2.9 goals per game on the road. The likes of Kane and Sané have been clinical, ensuring Bayern remain a scoring machine. However, their recent tendency to concede in three consecutive matches might give Freiburg some hope of finding the net.

Form

Vincenzo Grifo (Freiburg)

The veteran German midfielder has proved that you cannot buy experience while playing professionally in the beautiful game. Grifo is a versatile player who can operate from the flank, and take on defenders on will. So far, he has scored five goals and provided seven assists in 18 Bundesliga games.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Kane has continued this season where he ended the last. Unstoppable beast. There were doubts in Munich, if he could fit in the great shoes of Lewandowski. But, boy, he has done it in style.

He already has 16 goals and six assists in just 16 league games. There’s surely more to come with the second half of the season up and running.

Freiburg head into this fixture with a few concerns on the injury front. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Kilian Sildillia are ruled out until mid-February, while key defender Matthias Ginter is dealing with a knock but could return in a few days. Goalkeeper Noah Atubolu is also sidelined due to illness, though he’s expected to recover soon.
