Freiburg: perfect at home, but form has taken a turn for the worse
Julian Schuster's side were sitting top of the table until recently, but they lost 2-1 to Bayer in the previous round despite scoring an early goal in the 14th minute. That was followed by a 3-0 defeat to Monaco in the Conference League. Before that, Freiburg had won eight of their first nine matches of the season and drawn the other, making two straight defeats their first serious dip in form.
At the same time, their home record remains nearly flawless: Freiburg have won all five of their home matches in the 2026/27 season. The team have scored at least twice in eight matches, although they have already conceded two or more goals on four occasions. Another concern is Igor Matanović's form, with the striker failing to score in his last four club appearances.
Bayern: still top, but too many draws are creeping in
Vincent Kompany's side drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the Champions League in midweek, putting in a strong performance despite being without several key players. In the Bundesliga, Bayern had previously demolished RB Leipzig 6-1 to remain at the summit. Nevertheless, the Munich giants have now drawn three of their last four matches in all competitions.
Their away form is also far from perfect: Bayern have drawn three of their six away games this season, including three of their last four matches on the road in all competitions. However, the head-to-head record is firmly in the champions' favor: the Munich side have won their last four meetings with Freiburg and are unbeaten against them in seven straight matches.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Freiburg have won all five of their home matches this season.
- Bayern are unbeaten against Freiburg in seven straight meetings and have won the last four.
- Freiburg have scored at least two goals in eight matches this season.
The visitors' class should decide a high-scoring game: Freiburg vs Bayern prediction
Freiburg are capable of causing problems for any opponent at home, and their attacking numbers suggest that goals should be on the cards again. However, their last two defeats showed that as the level of opposition rises, the hosts' defense becomes noticeably more vulnerable.
Bayern are not flawless either and regularly slip up away from home, but their attacking potential is significantly greater. Given their excellent head-to-head record and Freiburg's current problems, the Munich giants should claim all three points in an open game.
