Bayern Munich vs Freiburg preview | Bundesliga 2021-22

Bayern Munich will host Bundesliga high-flyers Freiburg on Saturday and will hope to become the first team to beat Christian Streich’s side those season.

Freiburg have surprised everyone with their sturdy displays and have emerged as Champions League contenders this season.

The clash against the record champions will by far be Freiburg’s biggest test this season, but don’t be surprised if they impress.

Freiburg have the meanest defense in the league as they have conceded just seven goals and have defended well as a unit.

Bayern Munich, however, are averaging nearly four goals a game in the Bundesliga. The Bavarians have scored in every game so far and will look to keep that run going come Saturday.

They come off after thrashing Benfica 5-2 in the Champions League courtesy of a Robert Lewandowski hat trick.
