Freiburg – Bayern Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (8.4.2023)
Just four days after they met each other in the DFB Pokal Quarterfinal, Freiburg and Bayern will lock horns in the Bundesliga. The stake is huge for either side, and the Bavarians must be fired up to avenge Tuesday’s shocking loss in front of the home crowd.
Freiburg vs. Bayern: Initial Situation
Freiburg are fourth in the Bundesliga with 47 points (W13, D8, L5) and a 39:35 goal difference. The Breisgau Brazilians are just two points ahead of fifth-placed RB Leipzig. On the other side, the Bavarians are topping the standings with 55 points (W16, D7, L3) and a 76:29 goal difference, a couple of points ahead of Borussia Dortmund and four above Union Berlin.
Freiburg Stats & Form
The Breisgau Brazilians stunned Bayern last Tuesday, grabbing a 2-1 victory at Allianz Arena to secure their spot in the DFB Pokal semifinal. Freiburg are undefeated in seven straight Bundesliga matches (W3, D4), and five of those seven contests have seen both teams score.
The 29-year-old winger Vincenzo Grifo leads the way for the Breisgau Brazilians with 15 goals and six assists this season. The 28-year-old striker Michael Gregoritsch has accounted for 12 goals and five dishes, while the 24-year-old winger Ritsu Doan has added six goals and six assists.
Bayern Stats & Form
The Bavarians beat Borussia Dortmund 4-2 at home in the previous round of the German Bundesliga to surpass the BVB in the standings. Over their last seven outings in all competitions, the Bavarians have recorded five wins and a couple of losses, including a 2-0 victory over PSG in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Bayern have dropped two of their last three Bundesliga matches on the road, losing to Borussia Monchengladbach 3-2 and Bayer Leverkusen 2-1.
Five guys have scored in double digits so far this season, and the veteran striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting leads the way with 17 goals in 28 appearances in all competitions. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala has accounted for 15 goals and 12 assists, while the 27-year-old winger Leroy Sane has 13 goals and eight dishes on his season tally.
Freiburg – Bayern: Head-to-Head
As I’ve mentioned, Freiburg outlasted Bayern 2-1 in the DFB Pokal last Tuesday. In their first league meeting of the season, the Bavarians trounced Freiburg 5-0 at home. In their last eight encounters with the Breisgau Brazilians, FC Bayern have registered six wins, a draw, and a loss.
Freiburg – Bayern Odds
Despite that 2-1 win at Allianz Arena, Freiburg are huge underdogs to earn three points in this match. On paper, Bayern are a way better team than Freiburg, but the bookmakers won’t be surprised if the Breisgau Brazilians manage to score. Both Teams to Score YES pays 1.70 at bet365 Sportsbook, while Over 2.5 Goals sits at 1.57 on the same platform.
The Bavarians will be highly motivated to beat Freiburg, and I think they’ll get the job done. However, the odds are not attractive, so I’m going with Both Teams to Score YES. Bayern’s defense hasn’t impressed of late, especially away from home. The Bavarians have allowed eight goals over their previous four league contests on the road. On the other side, each of Freiburg’s last seven home games in the Bundesliga has seen both teams score.
