- Freiburg v Bayern Munich
- Kick-off: 2026-10-25 16:30 UTC
- Ground: Europa-Park Stadion
- Status: Full time
- Score: Freiburg 1 – 3 Bayern Munich

Bayern lead the Bundesliga on fourteen points and Freiburg are third on thirteen, so this is a top-of-the-table match in name. In substance the gap is wider: Bayern beat Union 7-0 in September and Leipzig 6-1 last week, and Freiburg have one win in the last forty-six league meetings. Freiburg's five home wins are real, and Suzuki returns from suspension, which is why the home side are not written off. Bayern are without Luis Díaz, injured against Arsenal, and Kimmich's availability is unclear; neither changes the shape of the match. Bayern's last five league matches averaged more than four goals and Freiburg's more than three, so we are as sure of three goals or more as of a Bayern win.

## Our call

Bayern Munich look the stronger side with three goals or more in all.

## Coming in

Freiburg have won all five home games and sit third. Bayern lead the table unbeaten, after beating Union 7-0 and Leipzig 6-1.

## Between them

Freiburg have beaten Bayern once in forty-six league meetings.

## The hinge

If Kimmich and Díaz both miss out, Bayern's edge narrows, though the goals should still come.

## Missing

Bayern are without Luis Díaz, injured against Arsenal, and Kimmich is a doubt. Freiburg have Suzuki back from suspension.

## Line-ups

Kimmich is not in Bayern's starting XI, with Bischof and Laimer paired in midfield, and Díaz is also absent from the side. Suzuki starts for Freiburg, among the three behind Höler in a 4-2-3-1.
