The bloom came off the rose on Tuesday night for Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich. Freiburg pulled off an impressive 2-1 win at the Allianz Arena in the DFB Pokal sending Bayern out of the competition.

Freiburg came from a goal down to post the win thanks to goals from Nicolas Hofler and Lucas Holer. Holer’s winning goal came in second-half stoppage time to send Freiburg into the final four of the DFB Pokal.

On Saturday, Bayern Munich will head to Freiburg for a Bundesliga encounter. Bayern defeated Borussia Dortmund in round 26 to move back into first place. Freiburg are still hanging around the title race and going into round 27 in fourth place. Eight points separate Freiburg from first-place Bayern Munich.

Freiburg’s win over Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal ended a long winless streak against the reigning Bundesliga champions. In the reverse Bundesliga fixture this season between the clubs, Bayern Munich claimed a 5-0 win.

Bayern Munich picked up 12 points from the last 18 points on offer in the Bundesliga. Tuchel will oversee his third match as Bayern coach after the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann. Bayern Munich scored 17 goals in their last six league games but the defence allowed 11 goals to opponents.

Die Roten are the Bundesliga’s best away teams. However, Bayern lost two of their last three away matches in the divisions. All three games came during Nagelsmann’s time as Bayern Munich coach.

Bayern have a record of seven wins, three draws, and three losses this season on the road. The team is +17 in goals away from the Allianz.

Freiburg took 10 points from the last six matches in the league. The team outscored opponents 7-4 across the last six matches.

The Breisgau-Brasilianer are one of the Bundesliga’s best home teams. Freiburg have a record of eight wins, four draws, and one loss at home this season. They scored 22 goals and conceded 11 times across their 13 home matches.

Freiburg are unbeaten in their last six home matches.

Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano is ruled out with a red card suspension. Noussair Mazraoui is a doubt following an illness. Tuchel will be without Manuel Neuer, Lucas Hernandez, and Mathys Tel due to long-term injuries.

Freiburg’s Lukas Kubler is under the weather and may not be fit to play. Defender Philipp Lienhart is a major doubt due to a hip injury. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been ruled out with an ACL injury.

The Breisgau-Brasilianer picked up an impressive late win over Bayern in midweek DFB Pokal play. However, it will be difficult to defeat Bayern a second time in a week. Bayern Munich should rebound with a Bundesliga win by a score of 2-1.
