FC Bayern Munich in search of back-to-back Bundesliga victories.

After an opening-day victory, the Bavarians take on Freiburg on Match Day 2, hoping to pick up back-to-back victories. FC Bayern Munich vs. SC Freiburg kicks off at 16:30 [GMT+1] on Sunday, September 1 at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich got off to a winning start after a hard-fought 3-2 win over Wolfsburg on the opening weekend of the season. The Bavarians had taken the lead before a brace from Lovro Majer [47’ P., 55’] placed Wolfsburg in front. An own goal had seen Bayern back level before a late goal from Serge Gnabry [82’] sealed the victory for the Bavarians. It was a maiden win for new boss Vincent Kompany, who slipped into the managerial seat in the summer following Thomas Tuchel’s departure. With the win, Bayern extended their unbeaten opening day run to 13 games [11W, 2D, 0L]. Earning back-to-back victories this weekend when they take on Freiburg will be the objective. And surely, a victory in 14 of their 17 home games last season [14W, 1D, 2L] will provide the Bavarians with plenty of confidence before both sides clash at Allianz Arena. In addition, Bayern have a 25-game unbeaten run on home soil against the visitors in place. A 4—2—3—1 with Harry Kane in attack is expected. New signing Michael Olise made his first Bundesliga appearance for the club on opening day and is expected to feature from the get-go when Kompany deploys a 4—2—3—1 with Harry Kane in attack. Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany will be without Hiroki Itō [ankle injury] and Leroy Sané [groin injury], among three others.

Just like Bayern, Freiburg also began their Bundesliga campaign with a 3-1 win against Stuttgart on home turf. A brace from full-back Lukas Kübler [26’, 61’] coupled with a goal from Ritsu Doan [54’] left the Breisgau Brazilians with an opening-day victory after 19 shots with 6 O.T. With Match Day 1’s victory, Freiburg have now won three opening day games in a row for the first time in club history. Meanwhile, manager Julian Schuster is hoping to steer his side to a victory despite a difficult fixture up next against Bayern Munich. However, the visitors have won just one of their 25 competitive games away at Munich [1W, 3D, 21L]. A 4—2—3—1 with Junior Adamu in attack is expected for this weekend’s fixture at the Allianz Arena. Michael Gregoritsch is ruled out of this meeting, along with five others, having picked up a muscle injury, while Kenneth Schmidt is suspended.
