Bayer Leverkusen v Freiburg

Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg Preview

Bayer Leverkusen made it four wins on the trot in the German top flight last weekend when the upcoming hosts registered a 2-0 win away from home at Augsburg which also helped lift Leverkusen up into second place in the Bundesliga table and just four points shy of the league leaders, Bayern Munich.

Freiburg also tasted success in last weekend's domestic top flight action as they recorded a 3-2 home win against Wolfsburg to lift the upcoming visitors up into fifth place in the Bundesliga standings, thus ensuring a mouthwatering contest on Saturday evening.

Since being handed a disappointing 3-2 defeat at home by RB Leipzig towards the end of August, Bayer Leverkusen have since embarked upon a solid and impressive 12-match unbeaten sequence which consists of seven wins and five draws.

Four of Bayer Leverkusen's seven wins within this period have been achieved on home soil at their BayArena with victories gained over the likes of Wolfsburg 4-3, Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1, Heidenheim 5-2 and St Pauli 2-1 which has not only seen the hosts pick up maximum points but also be involved in goals at both ends of the pitch as well.

Indeed, both teams have scored in 12 out of Bayer Leverkusen's 14 matches so far in this season's Bundesliga campaign, the highest percentage of the Both Teams To Score option to date this term.

Freiburg also have reason to feel upbeat about their chances at the BayArena on Saturday evening when they take on high-flying Bayer Leverkusen as the visitors bring a three-game unbeaten run into this encounter.

The visitors have picked up two wins from these last three matches which have come in the form of wins against Borussia M'gladbach and Wolfsburg in 3-1 and 3-2 victories respectively, both of which were also achieved on home soil at their Europa-Park Stadion.

However, these two recent wins have been Freiburg's only highlights from their previous seven matches in the German top flight as Julian Schuster's side have drawn three and lost the other two games within this period.

Freiburg's two recent losses were both incurred on their travels with heavy losses endured at RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund in 3-1 and 4-0 thrashings, so the prospects of a positive result here on Saturday evening against in-form Bayer Leverkusen look fairly unlikely.

The bigger picture shows Freiburg have managed to collect just five wins from their last 16 outings on the road whilst slipping to eight defeats as well.
