Freiburg hosts Bayern Munich at the Europa-Park Stadion in a game from the 24th round of the German Bundesliga. Now it’s a great time to stay with us and these free soccer predictions daily. Let’s go!

Freiburg will face the champion from 9th place in the current standings. We can say that the previous season was a bit more successful for Christian Streich’s team compared to this one. Still, Freiburg are on a safe distance from the bottom and maybe this is the most important thing.

Freiburg’s problems are linked to their bad shape at the moment. They have lost four of their last five matches in the Bundesliga which is just unacceptable. The team have also won just 8 games out of 23 – not quite enough to do well in the standings. The team hoped to reach another European qualification, but it’s impossible with this kind of performance.

Last week Freiburg suffered their 10th loss for the season. Streich’s team faced Augsburg away from home, but Vincenzo Grifo’s opening goal was not enough – 1-2. Freiburg lost the match in the last 20 minutes when they conceded twice.

Maybe Freiburg’s head coach will try to do some things different in the next game against Bayern. Players such as Ginter, Sallai, Makengo and Muller could be in line to start against the reigning champion.

Lucas Holer is Freiburg’s top scorer since the beginning of the season. He has scored 6 goals so far while Michael Gregoritsch had added 4 more. It’s quite not enough from Freiburg’s top strikers, though – they need to contribute more.

Bayern struggles

It seems that Bayern Munich will stop their incredible run of 11 consecutive titles in the Bundesliga. This season is quite average for the Bavarians as they are 8 points behind the leader Bayer Leverkusen. This is the reason why the manager Thomas Tuchel will leave the club at the end of the season. His arrival at the Allianz Arena just didn’t lead to the desired results despite winning the title last season. Now Bayern are already looking for a new head coach and Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso is one of the options for this.

After two consecutive losses in the league, Bayern finally won again last weekend. It was quite dramatic against RB Leipzig as Harry Kane scored the winning goal in the 91th minute of the match. Before that it was Kane again who scored in the 56th minute, executing an assist from Jamal Musiala. Harry Kane now has 27 goals in the Bundesliga since the beginning of the season – his first season in Munich is impressive.

Most likely Thomas Tuchel will continue to make changes in Bayern Munich’s line-up. Kim Min-Jae could return in defense for the German champion while Konrad Laimer is another option for the starting eleven. Mathys Tel could start as well which would mean that Leroy Sane is going to the bench.

What Bayern must improve at the moment is their performance in defense. This means that Kim Min-Jae’s return in the line-up could be useful for Tuchel’s team. He started Eric Dier and Matthijs de Ligt against Leipzig, but Kim looks like a player who can stabilise the defense at this moment. At the same time Joshua Kimmich should start as a right-back again while Raphael Guerreiro must be very focused on the left flank.

Bayern look hurt at the moment so this is a great opportunity for Freiburg to cause an upset here. Make no mistake – the Bavarians remain favorites to take the three points, but at this moment they look a bit shaky. Frieburg 2-1 Bayern Munich
