Freiburg take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the round 24 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, February 1st at Europa-Park Stadion (Freiburg).
Freiburg are going through a good, and even excellent period for themselves. There was a cup final appearance, albeit lost, and finishing in the upper part of the league table in the previous two seasons. Thanks to this, the Germans are playing in the Europa League for the second time in a row. And this time they not only made it out of the group stage but also progressed to the round of 16. To achieve this, the representative of Germany had to overcome Lens. It was tough: first, they ended with a goalless draw in France, then at home, after conceding twice in the first half, they managed to equalize in regular time and secure a victorious, determined 3-2 in extra time. Now, next Thursday, they will play against West Ham – again, as they played with the Englishmen in the group stage, albeit unsuccessfully. It's clear that this will be a tough challenge for Christian Streich's charges. And he may prioritize improving their chances in the Bundesliga. After all, the results there are mediocre, and they are all below the chances of finishing in the top 6. Especially since they lost to Augsburg in the last round.

Bayern are in a difficult situation. The Southern Star are going through a tough period. It wasn't easy in the last season either, and understandably, they changed Nagelsmann (for whom RB Leipzig paid record compensation in history) for Tuchel in the spring of 2023. The latter de facto failed already in the spring, and only due to luck managed to snatch another silver bowl in the final round from the faltering Borussia at home, in Dortmund, in the last round. Failures in the new season began literally from the first match – strengthened by Kane and others, the record holders were crushed in the Super Cup by RB Leipzig with a 0-3 score. But after those 0-3, there were plenty of new setbacks, from the shocking elimination from the German Cup by Saarbrücken and a 0-3 defeat in Leverkusen from the current leader, Bayer. When there was even a defeat to Bochum in the next round, the management reacted, announcing Thomas' future departure. But even after that, RB Leipzig literally snatched victory with a double by Harri. A little earlier, they also lost in the Champions League to Lazio, failing to respond to the host's goal even with a single shot on target. But this result, 0-1, is not final – let's see how the coaching staff will organize the squad now, on the eve of hosting the Italians.
Already in April, shortly after Tuchel's move to Munich, the Brazilians from Breisgau knocked out his new charges in the cup. However, both before and twice after that, the record holders emerged victorious. With such an opponent, the champion is obliged to cope without problems even away. Let's bet that the visitors will win with a handicap of -1.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win with -1.0 handicap.
