Match Information
Match Overview
SC Freiburg host Bayern München at Europa-Park Stadion on October 25 in Bundesliga Regular Season - Round 7. The meeting is between the third-placed side and the league leaders, which gives this early-season fixture real weight in the table as the campaign takes shape.
The main factor is the contrast in recent league form. Bayern München beat RB Leipzig 6-1 at home on October 17, following a 7-0 home win over Union Berlin on September 18. Their league run also includes a 2-2 draw at FC Augsburg on October 10 and a 2-1 win at SV Elversberg on September 13. Between the Augsburg and Leipzig games they drew 3-3 away at Viking in the UEFA Champions League on October 13, so they are playing across two competitions. Freiburg lost 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen on October 18 after beating FC Schalke 04 2-1 at home on October 11. They also played in Europe, beating FK Jablonec 3-2 at home in the UEFA Europa Conference League on October 15. Their position in third shows how well their league season has gone, even with that defeat.
Head-to-head history is the second factor. Bayern München have won the last five meetings, including 3-2 at Freiburg on April 4, 2026, and 6-2 at home on November 22, 2025. Freiburg's last win in the fixture was 2-1 away from home... in fact it came at Bayern on April 4, 2023, when they won 2-1. In the ten listed meetings, Freiburg have one win and one draw, and Bayern have the other eight. Those games have also produced goals, with Freiburg scoring in five of the last six.
Neither side has any reported unavailable players, so both managers, J. Schuster and V. Kompany, appear to have full squads to choose from. That is relevant for Freiburg, who face a heavy workload across the league and Europe, and for Bayern München, who have the same demands.
Overall, a meeting of two top-three sides with a lopsided head-to-head record gives Freiburg a chance to challenge the leaders on home turf.

Team Form Analysis
SC Freiburg
League Position: 3SC Freiburg Form Analysis
Freiburg's most recent five matches across all competitions brought three wins, one draw and one defeat. In the Bundesliga, the 2-1 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen on October 18 followed a 2-1 home win over FC Schalke 04 on October 11 and a 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt on September 19.
The attack has been consistent. Freiburg scored in every match in this run and netted 13 goals in five games, including 3-2 over FK Jablonec in the UEFA Europa Conference League on October 15 and 4-2 over FC Luzern in a club friendly on October 3. Friendlies carry less weight when judging form, so the league and European results are the better guide.
Defensively, they conceded in every match, 11 goals in total, and never kept a clean sheet. That leaves them reliant on scoring to win games. The two league wins and the draw show they can get results in a high-scoring game, but the Leverkusen defeat was an away match against a strong opponent. With the Europa Conference League fixture on October 15 also in the schedule, Freiburg have had to handle a busier calendar while holding third place in the Bundesliga.
Bayern München
League Position: 1Bayern München Form Analysis
Bayern München's last five matches produced three wins and two draws, with no defeats. In the Bundesliga they beat RB Leipzig 6-1 on October 17, drew 2-2 at FC Augsburg on October 10, beat Union Berlin 7-0 on September 18 and won 2-1 at SV Elversberg on September 13.
The attack is the standout feature. Bayern scored 20 goals in these five matches, including 6 and 7 in two home league games. They also scored three times in a 3-3 draw at Viking in the UEFA Champions League on October 13, which is a schedule consideration rather than a verdict on that competition.
The defensive record is less secure. Bayern conceded in four of the five matches, with eight goals against in total, including two at Augsburg and three at Viking. The only clean sheet came in the 7-0 win over Union Berlin.
Both draws came away from home, while the home matches in this run were won by a combined 13-1. They lead the Bundesliga in first place and arrive in Freiburg having scored heavily in the league, though conceding goals remains a feature of their recent matches.
