FC Bayern Munich in search of back-to-back Bundesliga victories.
In a clash at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich, riding high on their dramatic opening-day victory under new manager Vincent Kompany, aim to extend their formidable home dominance against a spirited Freiburg side keen to defy the odds and continue their historic winning start to the season.
FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich began the season with a challenging 3-2 victory over Wolfsburg on opening weekend. Initially taking the lead, Bayern saw Wolfsburg surge ahead with a brace from Lovro Majer before an own goal equalized the score. A late goal from Serge Gnabry secured the win for the Bavarians.
This triumph marked a first win for new manager Vincent Kompany, who took charge in the summer following Thomas Tuchel's departure. The victory also extended Bayern's unbeaten opening day streak to 13 games. Their current focus is achieving back-to-back wins as they prepare to face Freiburg.
Bayern's confidence is bolstered by their formidable home record last season, where they won 14 out of 17 games. They also maintain an impressive 25-game unbeaten run at home against Freiburg. A 4-2-3-1 formation with Harry Kane leading the attack is anticipated.
New signing Michael Olise made his Bundesliga debut in the opening match and is set to start again. However, Kompany will have to contend without Hiroki Itō, Leroy Sané, and three others due to injuries.
SC Freiburg
Just like Bayern, Freiburg began their Bundesliga campaign with a 3-1 win against Stuttgart on home turf. A brace from full-back Lukas Kübler and a goal from Ritsu Doan secured the opening-day victory after 19 shots, with 6 on target.
With this victory, Freiburg have now won three opening day games in a row for the first time in club history. Meanwhile, manager Julian Schuster is hoping to steer his side to a victory despite a difficult fixture against Bayern Munich.
However, the visitors have won just one of their 25 competitive games away at Munich. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Junior Adamu in attack is expected for this weekend’s fixture at the Allianz Arena.
Michael Gregoritsch is ruled out of this meeting, along with five others, due to a muscle injury. Additionally, Kenneth Schmidt is suspended.
