2 FC Bayern München vs 0 SC Freiburg
FC Bayern Munich in search of back-to-back Bundesliga victories.
Bayern Munich look to capitalize on their opening day momentum as they host Freiburg, who also started the season with a win, at the Allianz Arena this Sunday.
FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich got off to a winning start after a hard-fought 3-2 win over Wolfsburg on the opening weekend of the season. The Bavarians had taken the lead before a brace from Lovro Majer (47’ P., 55’) placed Wolfsburg in front.
An own goal had seen Bayern back level before a late goal from Serge Gnabry (82’) sealed the victory for the Bavarians. It was a maiden win for new boss Vincent Kompany, who slipped into the managerial seat in the summer following Thomas Tuchel’s departure.
With the win, Bayern extended their unbeaten opening day run to 13 games (11W, 2D). Earning back-to-back victories this weekend when they take on Freiburg will be the objective.
A victory in 14 of their 17 home games last season (14W, 1D, 2L) will provide the Bavarians with plenty of confidence before both sides clash at Allianz Arena. In addition, Bayern have a 25-game unbeaten run on home soil against the visitors in place.
A 4-2-3-1 with Harry Kane in attack is expected. New signing Michael Olise made his first Bundesliga appearance for the club on opening day and is expected to feature from the get-go.
Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany will be without Hiroki Itō (ankle injury) and Leroy Sané (groin injury), among three others.
SC Freiburg
Just like Bayern, Freiburg also began their Bundesliga campaign with a 3-1 win against Stuttgart on home turf. A brace from full-back Lukas Kübler (26’, 61’) coupled with a goal from Ritsu Doan (54’) secured the victory for the Breisgau Brazilians.
This opening-day win means Freiburg have now won three opening day games in a row for the first time in their history. Manager Julian Schuster is hoping to steer his side to another victory despite a challenging fixture against Bayern Munich.
However, Freiburg have won just one of their 25 competitive games away at Munich (1W, 3D, 21L). For this weekend’s fixture at the Allianz Arena, a 4-2-3-1 formation with Junior Adamu in attack is expected.
Michael Gregoritsch is ruled out of this meeting due to a muscle injury, along with five others. Kenneth Schmidt is also suspended.
