They followed that up with an emphatic 6-1 victory over 15^th-placed Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on the last match-day, sending a warning to RB Leipzig and Monchengladbach who have both been alternating between first and second positions since the start of the campaign.

Hans-Dieter Flick’s men seem to have weathered the early-season storm and will be looking to build on that victory against Bremen in this fixture against Freiburg. Forging ahead with a winning streak just before the new year will do their league position the world of good.

Shwarzwald-Stadion is expected to be buzzing on Wednesday evening, when the reigning champions visit Freiburg, who are just a single place and two points behind fifth-placed Bayer Munich on the log.

Freiburg vs Bayern Munich Team News

Freiburg sent shockwaves around the whole footballing world after taking the Bundesliga by storm at the start of the season. Racing to five wins from their first nine league games, they found themselves in the midst of an unlikely title race.

However, things have petered out at the club in recent weeks, as they have struggled to churn out performances reminiscent of their early-season exploits. Two wins from their last six league fixtures is not exactly the kind of form the club’s fans will be relishing at the moment.

This recent poor form has seen them fall off the pace in the race for the Bundesliga title, spotting a sixth position on the log, eight points adrift league leaders RB Leipzig and three away from the top-four.

Christian Streich’s side are not exactly prolific in attack compared to their Bundesliga counterparts, having registered 24 goals in their last 15 fixtures. That goal tally is a far cry from the goal-scoring record of the likes of Leipzig and Bayern, with 42 and 41 goals respectively.

The home side have maintained a sturdy defense at the other end of the pitch, keeping opposition attackers frustrated to the maximum. With only 18 goals conceded since the start of the campaign, they are spotting the third-best defensive record in the league.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, certainly know how to get the ball into the back of the net but it’s their defensive record that needs mentioning. They have allowed 21 goals past them, the worst record of any side in the top eight, having endured a woeful start to their title defense by their lofty standards.

Back-to-back 2-1 losses to Borussia Monchengladbach on the road and Bayer Leverkusen on home turf saw the Bavarians fall six points off the title pace. Such poor league form resulted in the sacking of former manager Niko Kovac.

However, newly-appointed manager Hans-Dieter Flick appears to have steadied the tide at the club leading them to back-to-back victories over Spurs and Werder Bremen. A win against this Freiburg outfit will extend their winning streak to three games across all competitions.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Freiburg: Philipp Lienhart, Lukas Kübler, Lino Tempelmann, Yoric Ravet.

Bayern Munich: Kingsley Coman, Jann-Fiete Arp, Lucas Hernández, Niklas Süle, Michaël Cuisance.

Freiburg vs Bayern Munich Predictions

The visitors are a real force to reckon with when in comes to attack, with Robert Lewandowski in blazing goalscoring form. Meanwhile, Freiburg are enduring a poor run of form at the moment, a far cry from their strong early start. As such, goals are a given for the Bavarians in this tie.

However, they are not likely to have it easy against this opposition who have caused some upsets against other Bundesliga giants this season. The safest punt will be backing the Bavarians for a narrow margin victory at Schwarzwald-Stadion on Wednesday.
