After a historic run of 16 straight wins in all competitions to start the season, Bayern’s efforts finally caught up on them as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin before the international break. However, Joshua Kimmich still drew a positive from the late fightback. “It takes a lot to beat us at the moment,” the Germany captain insisted.
Similar can be said for Freiburg, though, who have lost only one of their last 13 competitive fixtures (W7, D5), coming in Leverkusen in October (2-0). It means that Saturday’s match pits the two Bundesliga teams with the fewest defeats since the start of September against each other (Leipzig have also lost only once but from just nine games).
Bayern’s unbeaten run in the Bundesliga now stands at 19 games (W15, D4), which is currently the longest by any team across Europe’s top five leagues. It’s the club’s best sequence of results for six years, when they went 21 in a row without a loss in the Bundesliga under Hansi Flick in 2019 and 2020.
