Freiburg vs Bayern Munich

Freiburg +1.75 AH at 1.86 with Bet365 - 2 units

  • Bayern have covered this spread three times on the road this season, against Kiel (17th), Werder Bremen (9th) and Bochum (18th)

  • Looking at a bigger sample they have only covered this spread in 5 of their last 21 on the road

  • Bayern have failed to cover this spread in three of their last four visits to Freiburg.

  • Bayern are coming off an away game in the UCL where they were handed an embarrassing 3-0 loss to Feyenoord and also lost Alphonso Davies to injury for 6 weeks.

  • In previous games following a road UCL game we saw Bayern draw 3-3 with Frankfurt and lose 2-1 to Mainz.

  • Freiburg rank 7th for npxGA this season and 5th best for the quality of chances conceded per 90

  • They have also avoided defeat in 5 of their last 10 home matches against Top 6 opponents

  • When these two met at the Allianz at the start of the season Bayern only put up 1.89xG and got off 3 shots on target (one of which was a penalty)

  • Looking at Freiburg’s home games we see a pretty robust side with an xG supremacy of +0.79 per 90 and just one loss all season here

  • Lastly, Bayern’s backline could take on unfamiliar look tomorrow, there is talk of Eric Dier starting ahead of Upamecano and as we know Davies is out for 6 weeks and Laimer is suspended
