Thomas Tuchel's team need to win to get closer to Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich's start to the season has not been bad. In Champions League they are leading group A with 6 points, as they beat Manchester United and Kopenhagen. And in Bundesliga they are unbeaten with four wins and two draws. But the expectation of the fans is very high and that is why they are not entirely satisfied.

 

The Bavarian team have been champions of the German league in the last 11 consecutive seasons. So, now that they are not leading the tournament, some believe that the team's performances have been disappointing. With wins by Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim, they will start their match against Freiburg this Sunday in fifth place in the standings.

That's why they need to win and close the gap. But it will not be an easy match, as their rivals have proven to be a tough team and have had an acceptable start to the season: with 10 points, they are seventh in the tournament and with a win at Allianz Arena they could get closer to Bayern Munich.

Coach Thomas Tuchel will not underestimate Freiburg and that's why he will put all his stars in the team this Sunday. The starting lineup of the hosts will be: Sven Ulreich; Noussair Mazraoui, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-Jae, Alphonso Davies; Leon Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich; Leroy Sane, Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman, Harry Kane. In addition, the substitutes will be Daniel Peretz, Bouna Sarr, Konrad Laimer, Fans Kratzig, Jamal Musiala, Eric Choupo-Moting and Mathys Tel.

 

Can they pull off a win?

Freiburg won their last Bundesliga match, 2-0 against Augsburg last Sunday, but this week they suffered a defeat against West Ham United in the UEFA Europa League. Now they will try to bounce back and surprise Bayern Munich. Coach Christian Streich chose this starting lineup: Noah Atubolu; Kiliann Sildialli, Manuel Gulde, Philipp Lienhart; Roland Sallai, Merlin Rohl, Maximilian Eggestein, Lukas Kubler; Ritsu Doan, Lucas Holer, Vincenzo Grifo.
