Bavarian Podcast Works

On this edition of the Edges and Underdogs Podcast we break down the Match Day 34 showdowns in the Bundesliga where there are some key games that will set the tone for the rest of the season. Let's get into it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Deep in the Black Forest in south-western Germany lies the 2025/26 season's most wholesome fairytale.

Freiburg is proof that football doesn't have to fall victim to money, greed, and short-term thinking. Sometimes, sustainability and long-term planning can prevail — and create remarkable success stories.

From Volker Finke to Christian Streich, this is the story of a football club that went against the tendencies of modern football and still won in its own way. They are now in their first-ever European competition final — the only German club represented across this season’s three European finals.

For a football romantic like Marcus, their story offers hope that there is another way.

Bayern Munich beat relegation threatened Wolfsburg 1-0 on a day that saw little fanfare from the Bundesliga champions-elect. Still reeling from the elimination at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, it seemed that Vincent Kompany's men were content to remain in 1st gear for a majority of the game. Wolfsburg simply could not capitalize.

In this episode, we discuss the following:
Vincent Kompany's strange lineup.
Why Bayern Munich cannot get better in defense.
How Musiala factors into all this.
Player ratings for the entire starting XI.
