Freiburg vs Bayern Munich predictions
SC Freiburg will host the league leaders Bayern Munich on Matchday 19 of the Bundesliga season.
The Breisgau Brazilians sit 8th in the Bundesliga with 27 points from 18 matches. They are just one point outside of the European places.
Julian Schuster is the head coach of Freiburg. Overall, Schuster is doing a good job. But this is his first full season in the hot seat. And after some poor results in recent weeks, Schuster’s managerial credentials look set to be put to the test.
Things are going well at the Europa-Park Stadium. At home, the Breisgau Brazilians have won six from eight, losing one and drawing the other. On the road, things aren’t as good. Freiburg have lost six, drawn two and won two.
And it’s this poor away form that is causing Schuster the problems.
Three of the Breisgau Brazilians previous four matches have been on the road. They have lost all three to an aggregate score of 13-2.
There was a 3-2 home win over Holstein Kiel on Matchday 16. But even in victory, Schuster’s team managed to concede two goals against one of the poorest teams in the Bundesliga.
If the defensive gaps aren’t plugged soon, Schuster’s team are likely to start plummeting down the table.
Freiburg are not likely to be shown any mercy against Bayern. The Bavarians have just suffered a 3-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the Champions League – a defeat that has all but condemned Bayern to the two legged play-offs.
Bayern’s loss does need to be put into some perspective. Kompany’s team had 80% of the possession and 30 shots. Most other days, the result is flipped.
The defeat will have hurt. And when Bayern are hurting, the chances are someone is likely to pay.
For all Bayern’s struggles in Europe, they are going well domestically. Vincent Kompany’s team sit at the top of the Bundesliga table with 45 points from 18 matches. The points haul is Bayern’s best at this stage of a campaign since the 2016/17 season.
Despite this, the Bavarians are now only four points clear at the top of the table.
The defending champions, Bayer Leverkusen, looked out of the title race earlier in the season. But they have really hit their stride in recent weeks, winning eight successive Bundesliga matches.
Xabi Alonso’s team is putting Munich under pressure. So far, the Bavarians are holding firm. But with just a four-point gap at the top of the table, Bayern can’t afford any slips.
For their part, Bayern has won their last four in the Bundesliga.
Two of the four matches were convincing home wins over RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim. But Munich were made to work for their 1-0 win away at Monchengladbach on Matchday 16. And just last Saturday, they had to ride out some late nervy minutes to secure a 3-2 win over Wolfsburg.
Vincent Kompany’s team may be clear at the top for now. But their lead is fragile. And with Leverkusen showing little sign of easing off, Munich need to keep on producing the goods.

Freiburg has a strong record at home. But overall, they have conceded 34 goals in 18 matches and look like the ideal team for an under pressure Bayern to get back on track against.
We’ve already mentioned that Bayern had a staggering 30 attempts at goal against Feyenoord. They are certainly creating the chances. And we all know if Bayern keep dominating matches like that, wins will inevitably follow.
We say Bayern are going to bounce back with a comfortable win. More Freiburg vs Bayern Munich betting tips can be found below:
Bayern to win and over 2.5 goals
Freiburg has conceded ten goals in three matches since the Bundesliga resumed after its winter break.
Throw in their 5-1 defeat to Leverkusen in the final match of 2024, and Frieburg has conceded 15 goals in their previous four Bundesliga matches.

Three of those fixtures were on the road. But the common theme developing is that the Breisgau Brazilians aren’t defensively strong.
Against a Bayern team that has scored 56 goals in 18 matches, that spells trouble for Julian Schuster’s team.
Back Bayern to win and over 2.5 goals in the match at 10/11 with BetMGM
Michael Olise to score or assist
When we are looking for a bet on a player to score or assist, all the usual names leap out.
Established Bayern stars such as Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane, and even Thomas Muller, all lead the betting. But all of those names are usually very short odds.
One name who can sneak in under the radar is Michael Olise.
The former Crystal Palace front man is having an impressive first season at Bayern. Olise has bagged himself six goals and nine assists in his 18 matches.
Furthermore, he has four assists and one goal in his last four Bundesliga matches. And he only played 23 minutes of one of those fixtures.
Olise got a goal and an assist in the win over Wolfsburg last Saturday. He looks a good bet to add to his goal involvements at a touch under even money.
Back Michael Olise to score or assist at 5/6 with Paddy Power
Harry Kane to score in the 2nd half
Harry Kane has 16 Bundesliga goals this season, with 11 of them being scored in the 2nd half.
Kane specialises in late goals, presumably when the opposition has been worn down, and there are easy pickings to be had.
Kane has struggled for goals since he came back from injury. Two penalties is all he has in his five matches since he returned to the team in December.
We thought the elusive goal from open play would happen against Feyenoord. But it didn’t. Kane did have five attempts at goal in the match. So you get the feeling the goal is coming soon.
Kane is 8/13 to score anytime. That looks short. So instead we are going to back him to add the finishing touch to a comfortable Bayern win with a second half goal at even money.
