Freiburg vs Bayern Munich: Match Preview, Team News & Predicted Lineups
Bayern Munich is set to continue its pursuit of the Bundesliga title as they travel to face Freiburg at the Europa-Park Stadion this weekend.
Currently positioned eighth in the league standings with 37 points from 27 games, *Die Breisgauer* find themselves nine points behind sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Their prospects for securing a European competition spot via a top-six Bundesliga finish appear slim, making success in either the Europa League or the DFB-Pokal their more realistic path.
Freiburg coach Julian Schuster will be without defender Max Rosenfelder, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is also unavailable as he continues his recovery from a knee injury. Matthias Ginter and Bruno Ogbus are anticipated to start in Freiburg's defense.
On the other side, Bayern enters this fixture following an emphatic 4-0 victory over Union Berlin just before the international break. This win solidified the Bavarians' position at the top of the table, bringing their total to 70 points and maintaining a nine-point lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
While Thomas Tuchel's Bayern squad has displayed remarkable resilience against German opponents this season, the upcoming Champions League encounter against Real Madrid might influence tactical decisions. With Freiburg keen to make a late push for a top-six finish, the possibility of a draw remains open.
It is plausible that Tuchel might choose to rest star striker Harry Kane in preparation for the pivotal midweek match against Real Madrid. Jamal Musiala is considered a doubt due to an ankle issue, and Alphonso Davies, who has only completed partial training, is unlikely to be named in the starting XI for this weekend's game.
Here are the predicted line-ups for the match between Freiburg and Bayern Munich:
Freiburg: Atubolu – Treu, Ginter, Ogbus, Makengo – M. Eggestein, Manzambi – Beste, Y. Suzuki, Grifo – Matanović.
Bayern Munich: Neuer – Stanišić, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer – Kimmich, Goretzka – Olise, Karl, Luis Díaz – Gnabry.
