Welcome back to the Bundesliga, where Bayern Munich is once again under threat from Bayer Leverkusen. The Bavarians head to the Black Forest to pay SC Freiburg a visit, with the goal of bringing home all three points to Munich. Bayern is fresh off an embarrassment in the Champions League putting them in a bad spot in the league phase. With injuries creeping in, getting a win won’t be as easy.
Bayern sit in first place with a 14-3-1 record (45 points) while Freiburg sit in eighth (8-3-7, 27 points). Can Bayern widen the gap between them and Leverkusen?
It’s Bayern time.
