Bayern Munich are back in Bundesliga action on Saturday when they host Freiburg at the Allianz Arena. As reported by SoftFootball, they had a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin before the break, which ended their perfect start this season.
Harry Kane has been in good form, scoring for England during the break, after he was named Bayern Player of the Month for October. Freiburg are coming off a 2-1 win against St. Pauli and also a 3-1 win in the Europa League against Nice. Their league form is inconsistent, though. Could be tricky for them.
Team News
Bayern have Hiroki Ito and Alphonso Davies back in training, but neither is expected to play. Joshua Kimmich should be available, but Serge Gnabry still has a twinge and might not play. Jamal Musiala has started ball work and may return early next year.
Freiburg have doubts too: Eren Dinkci, Nicolas Höfler, and Niklas Beste are doubtful. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is still out long-term.
Kompany said, in the press conference video shared on the club’s official YouTube account, that the draw against Union is a reminder not to be complacent and that the team wants to finish the season stronger than it started.

Possible Lineups
Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Bischof; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Kane, Diaz; Jackson.
SC Freiburg (4-2-3-1): Atubolu; Treu, Ginter, Lienhart, Makengo; Eggestein, Manzambi; Beste, Suzuki, Grifo; Adamu.
Bayern shared a post on their official X account with the club announcing that they are back in the Bundesliga and preparing to face SC Freiburg at the Allianz Arena.
SoftFootball’s Prediction
Bayern are favourites at home. They have scored at least two goals in the last 18 Bundesliga games. Freiburg may try counterattacks and sit deep. That could be tricky. But Bayern have Kane, Díaz, and Olise, who can break them open.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-0 Freiburg
Even though Freiburg are tough sometimes, Bayern’s depth, attacking players, and home record should be enough to get three points. They want to bounce back before a big Champions League game at Arsenal. It won’t be easy, but they should win.
