🗞️ Team News: Bayern Munich

Arijon Ibrahimović (Torn muscle bundle), Tarek Buchmann (Fitness), Hiroki Ito (Metatarsal fracture), Daniel Peretz (Partial muscle tear) and Josip Stanisic (Torn lateral knee ligament) are unavailable for Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany.

In all likelihood, Bayern could make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game, handing starts to Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Min-Jae Kim, Dayot Upamecano, Raphael Guerreiro, Jamal Musiala, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Michael Olise, Mathys Tel, Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane.

📋 Team News: Freiburg

Freiburg boss Julian Schuster has not got a full squad to pick from. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Knee surgery), Noah Atubolu (Appendectomy) and Michael Gregoritsch (Torn muscle fiber) will not be playing here.

We are inclined to think that Freiburg will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Florian Mueller, Lukas Kuebler, Max Rosenfelder, Philipp Lienhart, Christian Guenter, Maximilian Eggestein, Patrick Osterhage, Ritsu Doan, Merlin Roehl, Vincenzo Grifo and Chukwubuike Adamu.

🔮 Prediction

In this match, Bayern Munich will most probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

In contrast, Freiburg may well find it hard to get shooting opportunities but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage here.

We can therefore see a 3-1 win for Bayern Munich at the end of the match.
