Bayern Munich vs Freiburg live stream and match preview
Looking for a Bayern Munich vs Freiburg live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
Bayern Munich are chasing just their fifth Bundesliga win of the season as they host in-form Freiburg – who entered this round of fixtures second in the table.
Bundesliga champions in each of the past 10 seasons, Bayern have made a stuttering start to their latest title defence. Julian Nagelsmann's side have lost one and drawn four of their opening nine games, blowing a 2-0 lead at Borussia Dortmund last weekend to come away from Der Klassiker with only a point. They do come into this encounter off the back of a victory, though, having won 4-2 at Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Freiburg, meanwhile, head to the Allianz Arena in superb shape. Christian Streich's team haven't lost in more than two months, winning 10 and drawing three of their last 13 outing in all competitions. The Breisgau Brazilians are unbeaten on the road this term and are averaging over two goals per away match; they romped to a 4-0 Europa League win at Nantes last time out. Along with Bayern, they've conceded the [second-]fewest Bundesliga goals in 2022/23 (8).
Team news
Bayern will be without the suspended Kingsley Coman, who was sent off late on in Der Klassiker. Luca Hernandez and Bouna Sarr are definitely sidelined by injury; Matthijs de Ligt, Alphonso Davies, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Manuel Neuer are all doubts after missing the midweek trip to the Czech Republic.
For Freiburg, meanwhile, Kimberly Ezekwem missed out with a muscle strain, while Manuel Gulde, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Roland Sallai are all doubtful.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Bundesliga football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Bundesliga fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
