Now let's talk turkey about this Bundesliga matchup - Freiburg versus Bayern Munich. Manuel Neuer is holding the fort down for Bayern Munich, turning away bullets with a 7.20 rating and 3 saves. On the flip side, it's like a goalie ensemble for Freiburg with Noah Atubolu and Florian Müller, Atubolu is apparently allergic to goals with a 7.30 rating and 10 saves.
Bayern Munich has a battalion of top performers like Michael Olise, Raphaël Guerreiro, and Joshua Kimmich - each of these guys with ratings above 8. Particularly impressive is Olise's 84.8 pass accuracy, that's like threading a needle with a football. Freiburg has got their own gunslingers, Vincenzo Grifo with a 6.93 rating and Ritsu Doan mirroring that rating with a slightly less effective pass percentage at 72.7.
Past matchups look more one-sided than a pancake with Bayern Munich flexing their muscles in the previous four encounters. C'mon Freiburg, variety is the spice of life. As for the season, it's more of the same. Bayern Munich is up at 14-3-1, while Freiburg is doing a balancing act at 8-3-7.
If we're talking recent form, it's the equivalent of a burly bouncer versus a slightly tipsy patron. Bayern Munich with a stampede of victories, only hiccup against Mainz. Freiburg, on the other hand, could use a pick-me-up after losses to VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt.
So gather around, children, it's prediction time. When the dust settles, I'm seeing...
