Save for Harry Kanes absence, the Bavarians are at a decent level of strength heading into this match with SC Freiburg.Freiburg sit nine points outside of the European spots but with a maximum of 27 points still up for grabs until the end of the season, theyre looking to win any points they can. There is a chance they could do something, as Bayern is saving up for their massive Champions League clash with Real Madrid in the quarter-finals next week, but the Rekordmeister isnt willing to give away free points.Match InfoLocation:Europa-Park Stadion, Freiburg, GermanyDate: Saturday, 4 April 2026Time:3:30 PM Local time | 9:30 AM EST | 6:30 AM PSTTV/streaming: ESPN+, Find Your CountryPredictionBayern wins 3-0 with goals from Serge Gnabry, Lennart Karl, and Luis Daz.Its Bayern time.While waiting for the match, do consider listening to the latest episode of Bavarian Podcast Works (more on that below) or you may read the selected reads below:Tips for commenting:If youre a new member, feel free to introduce yourself!
