Bayern Munich vs Freiburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-10-07 15:30.
Bayern Munich forward Thomas Müller believes his side are struggling to find top form at the moment, after they struggled to a 2-1 win over FC Copenhagen in midweek. The German international came off the bench to help his teammates battle from a goal down to win their UEFA Champions League clash in Denmark, and insisted there are “lessons” Bayern can take from the game.
The striker might be being a little harsh on Thomas Tuchel’s side, given they are unbeaten in their last nine outings (W7, D2) and sit just two points off top spot in the Bundesliga ahead of the round. A joint-league high 20 goals after six rounds is certainly a contributing factor to their unbeaten league start (W4, D2), and it was there free-scoring attack that bailed them out of trouble in their last Bundesliga outing, when they came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at title rivals RB Leipzig.
That record will strike fear into opponents Freiburg, who have suffered more defeats to Bayern than any other opposition, losing 34 times in just 48 meetings (W5, D9). Even more ominously for the visitors, they head to the Allianz Arena on the back of a 2-1 UEFA Europa League reversal at the hands of West Ham on Thursday night.
While manager Christian Streich admitted that was a thoroughly disappointing display from his side, he insisted he didn’t “want to judge the players too harshly” after a third defeat of the campaign (W5, D1). Their away form is a bit of a concern heading into this fixture though, as they have failed to score in their last two Bundesliga matches on the road (D1, L1), including taking a 5-0 battering at Stuttgart.
Key battle: 18-year old Mathys Tel has already scored six goals for Bayern Munich this season, all of which have come after the 80th minute, including five as a substitute. Freiburg defender Matthias Ginter may be seeking to keep him quiet, but his side haven’t kept a clean sheet in his last nine personal H2Hs in the Bundesliga (W3, D1, L5).
Hot streak: Bayern Munich’s last ten league matches have seen at least three total goals scored.
