SC Freiburg are having a great 2022-23 season, with the home side having only suffered one defeat in their thirteen home games this term. Not only have they made life difficult for each opponent that has visited the Europa Park Stadion, they have kept a mean defence that has only conceded eleven goals in front of their own supporters.
Can they beat Bayern Munich and really boost their hopes of Champions League football? The bookies think that it’s an unlikely prospect despite their strong home form, with the team at least being able to focus on domestic matters after a recent Europa League exit at the hands of Juventus. Since then, it has been successive 1-1 draws against Mainz and Hertha Berlin.
Bayern have been involved in several high-scoring clashes recently and they will want to try and kick clear of Borussia Dortmund in the table before they clash with Manchester City in what is likely to be a pulsating Champions League tie. A 5-3 win over Augsburg came before that 2-1 reverse at Leverkusen, although the players might be better in the post-Nagelsmann era.
Thomas Muller bagged two goals against Dortmund as part of a convincing win over Dortmund and the team registered nine shots on target. The squad depth is really impressive although it’s worth bearing in mind that a trip to Manchester City comes hard on the heels of this game and it might not be a straightforward assignment.
