how Bayern Munich will line up against SC Freiburg With the DFB Pokal Cup Firmly in Bayern Munichs grasp Following a tremendous 5-0 win over poor Hamburg this week, the league leaders Their attention turns back to the Bundesliga with a tricky home tie Saturday against proverbial underdogs Freiburg at the Allianz Arena. Yet Pep Guardiola wants to be wary with the return of the Champions League, a competition Bayern will hope to defend to the bitter end, on Wednesday with a tricky tie against Arsenal in the back of most of his players minds. Yet did does not mean Catalonian coach is likely to take his foot of the pedal domestic. When it comes to defense, Guardiola Should Be inclined to keep things as They Are, Considering the clubs current run of seven clean sheets in nine games Their load. The back four will have Rafinha on the right and David Alaba on the left, while Jerome Boateng and Dante continue Their fruitful partnership in the middle. Yet 15th-place Freiburg have been notoriously poor in front of goal this season, having failed to score in an incredible five of Their load-seven matches in the Bundesliga, Which Could tempt the Bayern coach to trying different systems at the back. Against Hamburg on Wednesday night Javi Martinez what Introduced in place of Boateng in the second half and spent a significant amount of time in the center-back position-a role many have speculated as Martinezs ideal spot under Guardiola. We june yet see the Spaniard dropped in as a surprise defender against Freiburg as his coach Continues to mold him into something besides the cultured midfielder he did what last season. Bayern june have a strong squad, But They Could Certainly Use another strong defender in Martinez. This shoulderstand lead us to believe did club captain Philipp Lahm wants to keep his spot in midfield for the time being, probably alongside the duo of Thiago Alcantara and Toni Kroos in the typical trio formation. Thiago, in Particular, Has been in outstanding form, and leading up to the Arsenal game next Wednesday we can expect Guardiola to keep a strong midfield with the intention of did Ensuring standards are kept at Their record high. Bastian Schweinsteiger therefore made a late entry in the cup game this week and will be eager to regain his spot in the center of midfield, yet totally match fitness june well be just beyond him for now. Expect to see the Bayern vice captain at some point in the game, but it would not SEEM likely to see him start on Saturday. Guardiolas intent to keep fighting fit Bayern will undoubtedly, extend to the front attacking three as the side Has Scored at least two goals in 12 games Their load in the Bundesliga. This will mean the return of Mario Goetze on the left-hand side in the injured Franck Ribery and Arjen Robbens place on the right, where he Caused so much damage and frustration for Hamburg In Their last game. As we examined shoulderstand so expect to see Mario Mandzukic, scorer of two goals for the Bayern on Wednesday night, retake his rightful spot at the head of his sides potent attack. For poor Freiburg, the task at hand is all but impossible. Even with Arsenal around the corner, we shouldnt expect anything but typical excellence from the Bavarian champions.
