Freiburg vs Bayern Munich – Match preview and team news Bayern Munich and Freiburg meet in a Bundesliga clash on Saturday, with the league leaders looking to extend their advantage at the top and Freiburg hoping to make home advantage count at the Europa-Park Stadion. Bayern Munich are unbeaten against Freiburg in the Bundesliga since 2015 May and have scored 15 goals in their last five head-to-head meetings. Freiburg vs Bayern Munich – Match preview and team news Date: Saturday, 4th April.

Kick-off: 2:30pm BST. Venue: Europa-Park Stadion, Freiburg. Freiburg team news SC Freiburg enters this clash with a relatively stable squad, though manager Julian Schuster still has a few notable absences to navigate.

The primary concern remains the long-term recovery of Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, who continues his rehabilitation from a serious knee injury. Additionally, defender Max Rosenfelder is ruled out due to a persistent hamstring strain. On a more positive note, the backline is expected to be bolstered by the return of Philipp Lienhart, who might get a recall to the starting XI alongside Matthias Ginter, although the young Bruno Ogbus has been playing regularly recently.

In attack, all eyes are on Igor Matanovic; the forward, who scored four goals in his last three matches in all competitions including the match-winning brace against St. Pauli, is certain to lead the line. Derry Scherhant is also pushing for a starting spot in the wide areas as Freiburg looks to cause an upset.

Bayern Munich team news Bayern Munich face a significant selection headache as Vincent Kompany balances domestic duties with an upcoming Champions League quarter-final. The biggest talking point is talisman Harry Kane, who is a major doubt after picking up an ankle knock while on international duty. With a clash against Real Madrid looming, Kane is expected to be rested, a situation complicated by Nicolas Jackson’s suspension.
