On Wednesday, the German Football League (DFL) anounced the schedule for the first four Bundesliga matchdays after the winter break. FC Bayern start the new year away to Freiburg on Friday 20 January at 20.30 CET. Officially the encounter on Matchday 17 marks the end of the first half of the Bundesliga campaign, but the season this year began late due to the Olympic Games. The Bavarians then travel to face Bremen, entertain Schalke and have an appointment in Ingolstadt, all three on Saturdays at 15.30.
