On Friday night, Freiburg and Bayern Munich meet at the Europa Park Stadion in a game that could be vital in both team’s Bundesliga objectives this season.
Freiburg’s winless run continued last time outChristian Streich’s team has hit an alarming slump in Bundesliga form in recent weeks, as a 2-1 defeat against Augsburg means that the team from the Black Forest are winless in five Bundesliga games, having suffered four defeats in the run.
Freiburg’s recent games have at least delivered on goals, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in their last six league outings.
The poor run of recent results has seen Freiburg lose ground on the league’s European spots, as they currently trail sixth-place Eintracht Frankfurt by five points.
Freiburg have won just once in their previous four Bundesliga games. However, they have also suffered defeat in one of their last nine outings at the Europa Park Stadion in the German top flight.
Last-gasp win over RB Leipzig keeps Bayern’s title hopes aliveBayern needed a stoppage-time Harry Kane goal to beat RB Leipzig 2-1 last time out. The victory at the Allianz Arena ended a three-game losing streak for the Bavarians in all competitions.
Despite the victory, Thomas Tuchel’s team is still eight points adrift of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The reigning champions are now underdogs to retain their crown for a 12th straight campaign.
When Bayern is about, there are usually goals, and there have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of the visitor’s last five outings in the German top flight.
One issue for Bayern of late in the Bundesliga has been inconsistent away form, as their current record stands at three defeats and two wins in their previous five games.
What am I backing?Bayern will be the favourites to win this encounter. However, their recent away form has been unconvincing. Freiburg is out of form and needs a confidence lift.
The pair’s recent Bundesliga outings have produced goals, and I expect this one to follow suit. Therefore, the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
