Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction: Big test for both teams

Key Stats

• Freiburg are unbeaten in their last 15 home games across all competitions.
• Freiburg have picked up 12 victories across those 15 home matches.
• Bayer Leverkusen’s previous five matches all produced under 2.5 goals.
• Bayer Leverkusen have got the fifth-best away record in the Bundesliga, winning six of their 12 matches.

Correct score prediction: Freiburg 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen

Freiburg have alternated between wins and losses across their last six matches, and that inconsistent run has almost ended their hopes of ending the season in the top six.

Last weekend was particularly painful as Julian Schuster’s side travelled to Eintracht Frankfurt and came away with a comprehensive 2-0 defeat.

The result leaves Freiburg a massive 10 points adrift of the top six, with only a couple of months remaining. 

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, are gearing up for a huge Champions League clash with Arsenal next Wednesday.

While Die Werkself will be hunting all three points at Freiburg, their main priority will be to avoid any unnecessary injuries ahead of their encounter with the Gunners.

With Leverkusen pondering a potential cautious approach, Freiburg may fancy their chances – especially at home.

HOME: 7/4 (2.75) – 36.4%

Freiburg preview: Consistency issues for the hosts 

Freiburg have struggled to turn their incredible home form into some much-needed away victories. Nevertheless, Schuster’s men are still in the fight for the top six, and they will be determined to boost their chances with a win on Saturday.

When it comes to injuries, Freiburg are expected to be without defender Max Rosenfelder.

Elsewhere, Lukas Kubler and Philipp Lienhart remain doubts as they both slowly return from recent injuries.

Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, who missed the last three years of action with a knee injury, is building his match fitness in training ahead of a potential return.

Predicted lineup: Atubolu (GK), Treu, Ginter, Ogbus, Gunter, Eggestein, Osterhage, Beste, Manzambi, Suzuki & Matanovic

Defender Arthur was forced off the pitch against Mainz after picking up an ankle injury last weekend. 

Loic Bade and Lucas Vazquez are also carrying injuries, while goalkeeper Mark Flekken remains on the shelf. 

Nathan Tella and Eliesse Ben Seghir will be on the sidelines this weekend, and they could be joined by striker Patrik Schick.
