There is a full round of Bundesliga fixtures to enjoy this week, with games being played on Tuesday and Wednesday. Arguably the biggest match of the week takes place on Wednesday night as Bayern Munich make the trip to the Schwarzwald-Stadion to take on Freiburg.

This is a game between two teams who are battling it out at the top end of the league table. Prior to the games being played on Tuesday, Freiburg are in 6th place with 25 points and Bayern Munich are one place above them with 27 points to their name. Bayern Munich are still hoping to retain their Bundesliga title whereas Freiburg are trying to cause an upset by finishing inside the top 4 and qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Freiburg come into this match having suffered a 1-0 defeat at Hertha Berlin on the weekend. It was their second defeat in their last 3 Bundesliga games, with the previous loss coming at title chasing Borussia Monchengladbach. Sandwiched between those 2 defeats was a 1-0 home victory against Wolfsburg and that’s Freiburg’s only win in their last 4 Bundesliga matches.

However, they have been in good form at home recently winning each of their last 3 home league games. In fact, Freiburg have lost only one of their last 9 home Bundesliga matches and that defeat came back in August. Trends show Freiburg have scored in each of their last 10 home matches in all competitions.

Bayern Munich faced relegation threatened Werder Bremen on the weekend at home and brushed their opponents aside, winning the match 6-1. That was their second successive victory following on from the 3-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League last week.

Bayern Munich needed that win over Werder Bremen having lost each of their previous 2 Bundesliga matches. The defeats came at home against Bayer Leverkusen and away to Borussia Monchengladbach. Away form shows just one victory in their last 4 away Bundesliga games for Bayern Munich and trends show both teams have scored in 5 of their last 6 games on the road in the German league.

In fact, both teams have scored in 12 of Bayern Munich's 15 most recent away game Bundesliga matches.

Looking ahead to the team news and Freiburg are without Luca Waldschmidt who has an ankle injury. They also have doubts over the fitness of Jerome Gondorf, Lino Tempelmann, Lukas Kübler and Philipp Lienhart. Alexander Schwolow is back in training following a hamstring injury.

Bayern Munich are without four injured players and Jann-Fiete Arp, Kingsley Coman, Lucas Hernandez and Niklas Süle will play no part in the game. Corentin Tolisso is back in training but Mickaël Cuisance remains a doubt.

Freiburg’s form has dipped in recent weeks and Bayern Munich have a good record over them, going 6 consecutive games unbeaten. Both teams could find the back of the net in this game but expect to see an away win.
