Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Julian Naglesmann in the Bayern dugout recently, made dream debut as his team secured an emphatic victory in the Der Klassiker this weekend. Bayern raced to a 3-0 lead inside the opening 23 minutes courtesy of Gregor Kobel’s 13th-minute own goal and Thomas Muller’s brace. After the break, Kingsley Coman’s 50th-minute effort made the score 4-0, before Dortmund netted twice through Emre Can and Donyell Malen. The result helped the Bavarians to leapfrog Dortmund to the top of the German top flight standings, having collected 55 points from 26 games, just two clear of the chasing pack. Meanwhile, Bayern reached the last eight of the cup competition courtesy of overcoming the likes of Viktoria Koln, Augsburg and Mainz in the previous round fixtures.
Freiburg, on the other hand, defeated FCK, FC St. Paulli and FC Svandhausen to reach this far in the competition. Meanwhile, Bresigau-Brasilianer are heading into the match on the back of a three-games winless streak. Last time out, Christian Streich’s side were held to a 1-1 draw against Hertha Berlin despite taking the lead through Vincenzo Grifo’s 52nd-minite effort. Freiburg have taken just seven points from their last five league-games and are holding on to the fourth spot in the Bundesliga standings, with 47 points to their name from 26 matches, just two points clear of fifth-placed RB Leipzig.
