Freiburg-Bayern Munich is a match valid for the 24th day of the Bundesliga and is played on Friday at 8:30pm: live TV, probable formations, predictions.
At the most difficult time, Harry Kane popped up. The English striker was the big star of last Saturday’s match between Bayern Munich and Leipzig: with a brace – the decisive goal scored in full recovery – the former Tottenham man allowed the Bavarians to come out of the corner after the slaps they received in the three away matches of Leverkusen, Roma (against Lazio) and Bochum.
In the standings little has changed, as leading Bayer Leverkusen continues to go a thousand miles an hour. The gap from the Aspirins, however, has remained at least unchanged: Thomas Tuchel’s team is still eight points behind Xabi Alonso’s side, which is now favored for the title. However, the former PSG and Chelsea coach, who will leave Bavaria at the end of the year in any case, still has several opportunities to straighten out the season. How? By winning as many games as possible in the league, but above all by re-matching Lazio in the Champions League round of 16. The return match scheduled for next week with Sarri’s Biancocelesti is one not to be missed to continue the European adventure. On the contrary, it would be spoken of as a gigantic flop.
Meanwhile, in the advance of the 24th day of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich will pay a visit to Freiburg, an opponent that has barely picked up a point in the last month.
Christian Streich’s men last Sunday surrendered 2-1 to Augsburg, serving their cup fatigues: the extra time in the Europa League match with Lens three days earlier – Freiburg eventually managed to qualify – was felt big time. The Europa zone is slowly receding for Grifo and his teammates, who have slipped to ninth place, -5 from sixth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. Streich against Bayern must do without Kyereh, Lienhart and Schmidt, while on the other side Tuchel will be without Aséko, Boey, Buchmann, Coman, de Ligt (the former Juventus man is disqualified), Mazraoui and Sarr.
The prediction
Bayern Munich have always gotten the better of Freiburg in the last three previous Bundesliga fixtures, which ended with a monstrous aggregate score of 9-0. The Bavarians are not cured, but if they still want to have any chance of reopening the championship, they cannot miss these kinds of matches. Trust Tuchel’s team but they are unlikely to keep their goal unbroken this time.
