Freiburg vs Bayern Munich prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-02-29 19:30.
Freiburg weren’t able to carry the momentum from their heroic UEFA Europa League comeback victory over Lens into their Bundesliga game at Augsburg on Sunday as they lost 2-1. That defeat extended their winless league run to five matches (D1, L4), and after winning only once in Germany’s top flight in the last eight such encounters (D2, L5), they sit ninth in the table and five points adrift of the European places.
Bidding for an uptick in form, Freiburg return to the comforts of the Europa-Park Stadion, where they have picked up their last two Bundesliga victories, forming part of an impressive record that has seen them lose just twice in the league on their own patch this season (W5, D4). Those defeats did come against Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart, who currently occupy UEFA Champions League qualification spots along with upcoming opponents Bayern Munich, an opponent that Christian Streich’s men haven’t beaten at home since 2015.
Bayern ended their three-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over RB Leipzig on Saturday, getting the winner in stoppage time following the announcement that head coach Thomas Tuchel will be replaced at the end of the campaign. Even after that result, the defending Bundesliga champions are still eight points adrift of leaders Bayer Leverkusen, having suffered three of their four league defeats this term since the turn of the year.
Bayern arrive in the Black Forest having lost their last three competitive away matches – and two in the Bundesliga – despite Tuchel’s men being the second-best scorers on their travels in the league behind Leverkusen (2.18 goals per game). That leaves the Bavarians on the brink of going three league games on the road without a win for the first time since October 2022.
Players to watch: In the Europa League, Roland Sallai scored twice in the stunning triumph over Lens and also got the winner in Freiburg’s last league victory. The last three Bayern goals have been netted by Harry Kane, but he now faces one of only three teams he is yet to score against in the Bundesliga.
Hot stat: Bayern opened the scoring in the last ten competitive H2Hs (W8, D1, L1), with eight of these openers coming in the first half.
