A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Europa Park Stadion – Freiburg
Saturday, 25th January 2025 - kickoff 15:30 CET
SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg, currently in the hunt for the top six, will be eager to capitalize on Bayern Munich's recent setback in the UEFA Champions League.
Hosting the league leaders at Europa Park Stadion, SC Freiburg will rely on their solid home form and disciplined defense. However, their defense was not so disciplined last week when they got hammered 4-0 by VfB Stuttgart. That was their second defeat in a row and third in four Bundesliga matches, so their form has not been good this year.
However, we should not forget SC Freiburg’s home form, where they are unbeaten in five straight matches. They won all their last three home games against Borussia Monchengladbach, Wolfsburg, and Holstein Kiel by scoring 3+ goals in each win.
Plenty of goals fall in SC Freiburg’s recent Bundesliga games, with each of their most recent five games ending with three or more goals scored.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich won its last four Bundesliga games, most recently against Wolfsburg 3-2. However, despite holding 80% possession and having dozens of chances, they surprisingly lost 3-0 to Feyenoord in the Champions League, lowering their chances of progress.
Bayern Munich is most dangerous after heavy defeats or when coming off a European loss. They have a point to prove and will likely go as hard as possible against SC Freiburg.
The Bavarians have beaten SC Freiburg four times in the last six duels, including in their first match this season, 2-0.
Bayern Munich will be determined to bounce back and maintain their lead over the chasing pack. Their squad depth and quality, particularly in attack, make them strong opponents, even on the road. They have lost only to Mainz at away stadiums this season, winning in six of their nine away matches.
The Betting Verdict
While SC Freiburg will present a stern test, Bayern Munich's overall quality and motivation to rebound from the recent Feyenoord disappointment make them favorites to secure a win.
A high-scoring affair is possible, so I would go with a bet builder bet of Bayern Munich to win and over 2.5 goals.
