Julian Nagelsmann acknowledged the previous performance of the guests in advance. “If you’re up front after so many matchdays, you also play a role. You have clear processes that you can always see in every game,” said the Bayern coach. However, Nagelsmann does not want to look at the opponent at all. “The decisive thing is that we show our performance,” the 35-year-old clarified and demanded: “It’s up to us to play a top game and get back to where we want to be as quickly as possible.”

Benjamin Pavard and Josip Stanišić are on the bench. Christian Streich also makes four changes.

Freiburg, on the other hand, have had a more than impressive season so far. The sports club ranks second in the league, right behind Union, and has impressed on the international stage during the week. The 4-0 win at FC Nantes was the fourth win in the fourth Europa League game and has ensured that the prank squad will definitely spend the winter in the European Cup. The Breisgauers have lost just one of their 14 competitive games this season and have been unbeaten for over two months.

After the late setback at 2-2 in Dortmund, Bayern came back strongly during the week and booked the round of 16 in the Champions League with a 4-2 win at Viktoria Pilsen on the fourth matchday. But of course that can’t hide the fact that things aren’t really going well for the record champions this season. FCB has only won one of the last six Bundesliga games and leaders Union Berlin are currently seven points ahead.
