Bayern Munich vs Freiburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-08-31 15:30.
[p]The weekend’s Bundesliga action ends at the home of Bayern Munich, as they begin their home league campaign with the hope of making it two wins from two in league action. Seemingly back with a vengeance after scoring seven goals in two domestic clashes so far, the Bavarians have some way to go to match last season’s 12-game unbeaten league start which saw them drop just four of the first 36 available points before tailing off to finish third. [/p]
[p]Vincent Kompany should fancy his chances in his home league debut as head coach as they welcome Freiburg, a side against whom Bayern have lost just one of their last 25 competitive home H2Hs (W21, D3). Bayern remain an irresistible prospect at home against all sides despite their shortcomings last campaign, as they won 14 of their 17 home league games in 2023/24, which was their highest Bundesliga home win tally since picking up 14 back in 2017/18. [/p]
[p]Life after Christian Streich, who spent 13 years at Freiburg’s helm, was always going to be a scary prospect for fans to wrap their heads around. Julian Schuster, former fan favourite and club captain under Streich, took the reins and made a positive start by topping the table at the conclusion of round one with a 3-1 win over Stuttgart. Doubling up their points tally will be a tough task at the home of Germany’s most successful club, especially as Freiburg have never won a Bundesliga fixture away to Bayern.[/p]
[p]Despite their H2H struggles, Freiburg will at least head into their first away league game of the season on the back of some strong travelling form to finish 2023/24 (W3, D1, L1). The Black Forest outfit were graded as the underdogs in two of those three aforementioned away wins, which may well inspire confidence ahead of this trip as the visitors won a league-high five Bundesliga matches as away outsiders last season (D2, L8). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Bayern’s Harry Kane picked up the prestigious European Golden Shoe award during the week after hitting 36 league goals last term, although Freiburg were the only team he didn’t score against! Trying to emulate Kane’s scoring exploits will be Freiburg’s Ritsu Dōan, with his decisive goal in the first round extending his Bundesliga scoring streak to a career-best three games. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Four of the last five H2H clashes in all competitions produced exactly two first-half goals. [/p]
