Head-to-Head
- Bayer 04 Leverkusen have won four of the last five Bundesliga games against SC Freiburg, including a 2-0 home win four months ago.
- Leverkusen’s solid overall form, 6th place and recent head-to-head record mean that the odds available on an away win are generous, but we’re going to give Freiburg the benefit of the doubt on home turf.
SC Freiburg
- SC Freiburg have not lost either of their last two home games in the Bundesliga (W2).
- The home team has won seven, drawn three and lost just once in 11 Bundesliga home games this season, so we’ll back them to keep it tight and push forward themselves.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen
- Bayer 04 Leverkusen enter this weekend’s Bundesliga encounter with SC Freiburg as the form favorites to take all three points on Saturday, but the home side are solid enough to keep it close.
- Hjulmand’s team have conceded an average of 1.64 goals per away Bundesliga game this season and Freiburg are a dangerous team to play against at home.
Key Players
- Igor Matanovic has been Freiburg’s main man in front of goal this Bundesliga season, with six goals in 21 appearances.
- Patrik Schick has hit a run of form in front of goal for Bayer Leverkusen, seven goals in the league from 19 appearances is nothing to write home about, but he has provided the consistency Bayer have needed at the frontline this term.
