Freiburg will be aiming to inflict their second defeat on Bayern Munich in the space of five days when they host the Bundesliga leaders on Saturday. Christian Streich’s side claimed their first ever victory at Allianz Arena with a 2-1 win in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals on Tuesday. Indeed, it was a truly historic night for Freiburg as they booked their place in the last four of Germany’s domestic cup for the second successive season, having lost on penalties to RB Leipzig in last season’s final.
Dayot Upamecano appeared to be sending Bayern to a comfortable home win when towering highest to head the Bavarians into a 19th-minute lead following fine interplay from Joao Cancelo and Leroy Sane down the left flank to force a corner, but Nicolas Hofler’s rasping drive from 25 yards levelled the proceedings eight minutes later.
With Matthias Ginter clearing Thomas Muller’s effort off the line moments before half-time, Benjamin Pavard, Sane and Serge Gnabry all squandered chances to restore their side’s lead after the break, with Lucas Holer punishing Thomas Tuchel’s side by coolly dispatching a penalty in injury-time following Jamal Musiala’s blatant handball.
While Streich will be desperate to go one better than last season’s agonising defeat to Leipzig, he will also be keen to ensure that his side do not lose focus of their primary target this season: qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.

SC Freiburg vs Bayern Prediction
SC Freiburg were exceptional against Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal and will be brimming with confidence ahead of this match. Lucas Holer has been effective in the final third this season and will look to make his mark in this fixture.
Bayern Munich have shown flashes of brilliance this campaign but have been largely inconsistent this season. Both teams are evenly matched at the moment and could play out a draw this weekend.

SC Freiburg vs Bayern Team News
Upamecano, who scored the opener against Freiburg in Tuesday night’s defeat, will be unable to feature against Streich’s side after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Dortmund last time out.
Pavard could tuck inside to partner Matthijs de Ligt at the heart of the hosts’ defence, with Cancelo switching to right-back and Alphonso Davies returning to the starting XI on the opposite flank after being rested in midweek.
That was Tuchel’s only change from the 4-2 win against his former club Dortmund, but the 49-year-old will be keen to involve Gnabry, Musiala and Sadio Mane for longer periods of this match – whether from the start or the bench – ahead of a crucial match against Man City on Wednesday
