"Bayern kicked off 2026 in victorious fashion with a 3-0 win over RB Leipzig a fortnight ago. Momoko Tanikawa, a Kyra Spitzner own goal and Jovana Damnjanović earned José Barcala 's side all three points at a snowy Campus. The Bundesliga champions again top the table after 15 games played with 43 points, scoring an impressive 57 goals and conceding just four times. That +53 goal difference is substantially better than the next best of +30 from Wolfsburg, who are six points back in second place."
"Freiburg's 2026 didn't start as they'd expected, losing 1-0 at Köln, with Luca Birkholz also missing a penalty in added time. They bounced back last week for a 2-0 victory away at Hamburg, which was also their 200th win in the Bundesliga. The Black Forest club sit sixth in the table, level on points with Hoffenheim a position above them. Freiburg had kicked off the season well after Edmond Kapllani took over for Theresa Merk, winning six of the first seven competitive fixtures in 2025/26. However, form has dipped since then, including elimination in the DFB Cup in the round of 16 against Wolfsburg (3-1)."
"The Munich Frauen also have more European football to come later this year. Having progressed directly to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League, they will face the winner of the play-off between Manchester United and Atlético Madrid at the end of March. The second leg will be played at the Allianz Arena. You can already reserve tickets for the game here."
FC Bayern Women play away at Freiburg on Friday (kick-off: 18:30 CET) after a scheduled fixture at Carl Zeiss Jena was postponed because of the weather. Bayern beat RB Leipzig 3-0 to start 2026, with Momoko Tanikawa, an own goal by Kyra Spitzner and Jovana Damnjanović securing the win. Bayern top the table after 15 matches with 43 points, 57 goals scored and only four conceded, holding a +53 goal difference. Freiburg lost at Köln, then beat Hamburg to record their 200th Bundesliga win and currently sit sixth. Bayern have reached the Champions League quarter-finals and will face the winner of Manchester United vs Atlético Madrid, with the second leg at the Allianz Arena.
