Freiburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Freiburg are currently 5th in the Bundesliga, three points behind 3rd-placed Bayer Leverkusen. They have produced some excellent performances this season, with Italy international Vincenzo Grifo having scored seven league goals so far. However, centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck has attracted the most attention and has been linked with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are top of the league table, six points ahead of 2nd-placed Borussia Dortmund. The league looks secure, but Bayern Munich have surprisingly been inconsistent this season under Julian Nagelsmann's management.
Bayern Munich to win.
Prediction: Freiburg 1-3 Bayern Munich
