THE PREDICTION
Bayern Munich recovered from back-to-back defeats in league and cup with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Freiburg on Sunday. The champions were not at their best but they dug in to get the three points and extend their lead at the top of the table to four. One player who Bayern can always rely on is Robert Lewandowski, who netted his 21st Bundesliga goal of the campaign against Freiburg - that’s four more than the entire Augsburg team have managed this season. Incredibly, the Pole has only failed to get on the scoresheet in three of his team’s 16 league matches this season, and against an Augsburg side who have won just two of their last 10 league games and only kept one clean sheet in their last 11 at home, there is every chance that the recently crowned Best FIFA Men’s Player will add to his tally on Wednesday night and fire Bayern to victory again.
