FC Bayern Women will take the field against SC Freiburg on Sunday, seeking to set a new record in the 2026/27 Google Pixel Bundesliga. The match is scheduled to kick off at 16:00 CEST at the FC Bayern Campus, just six days after their impressive 2-0 victory over Mainz.
This latest win not only marked a successful start to their home campaign but also extended Bayern's unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to 44 matches, equaling the league record. Head coach José Barcala's squad now stands on the brink of making history as they prepare to face Freiburg, a team they have historically dominated with 37 wins out of 50 encounters (D6, L7). Their last defeat to Freiburg dates back over eight years, highlighting Bayern's strong performance in this fixture.
Freiburg, who finished eighth in the previous season, began their current campaign with a mixed bag of results, drawing 1-1 against Hamburg before securing a narrow 1-0 win against Union Berlin, thanks to a goal from Lisa Karl. The Black Forest club has been active in the transfer market, losing several key players, including Svenja Fölmli and Ally Gudorf, but they have welcomed new talents like Amira Arfaoui and İlayda Açıkgöz to bolster their squad.
In terms of team news, Bayern will be without Anna Klink, who is recovering from a broken hand, and Stine Ballisager, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Additionally, Franziska Kett and Alara Sehitler are likely to miss the match due to illness. However, there is a possibility that Sarah Zadrazil could make her long-awaited return to the matchday squad, providing a boost to Bayern's midfield.
Ahead of the match, Coach Barcala acknowledged Freiburg's potential, stating, "Freiburg are a young team who’ve made a really good impression so far. They have a clear plan, are very well organized and know exactly when they need to go and press. They can also always pose a threat with their quick movements in between the lines. When you’re not coordinated in how you press against them or are too passive in defending, you can quickly have problems. We need to focus on every detail and definitely can’t underestimate them. It certainly won’t be an easy game." His comments reflect the respect Bayern holds for their opponents, despite their favorable historical record.
As FC Bayern Women prepare for this crucial match against Freiburg, they are not only aiming for a victory but also to etch their name in the Bundesliga record books by extending their unbeaten run to 45 games. Fans are eagerly anticipating the match, hoping to witness history in the making.
