Freiburg vs Bayern Munich prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2020-21
Freiburg host champions Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday as Christian Striech's side continue their push for a top-seven finish.
Freiburg are currently ninth in the league, only two points behind Borussia Monchengladbach in seventh.
Streich will know that his side have a huge task ahead of them if they are to beat Bayern Munich on Saturday. But Freiburg cannot afford to drop any points in their remaining two games if they are to have a chance of finishing in the top seven this season.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, can afford to take it easy as they have already secured the league title. Hansi Flick will, however, want to win his last two games in charge of the squad and leave the Bavarian outfit on a high note.
Star striker Robert Lewandowski is one goal away from tying Gerd Muller's Bundesliga goal record for a single season. He will be looking to surpass the German legend when he faces Freiburg on Saturday.
With Bayern Munich having nothing left to play for, this might be the perfect opportunity for Christian Streich's side to get an unlikely win over the champions.
Freiburg vs Bayern Munich Head-to-Head
As expected, Bayern Munich have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides. The Bavarians are unbeaten in their last five league meetings against Freiburg, winning three of them.
Flick's side came away as 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
