H2H: Bayer Leverkusen vs. Freiburg – Prediction (Bundesliga

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Leverkusen haven’t lost any of their four previous Bundesliga games against Freiburg (W2 D2), with their last such defeat coming back in April 2017 (1-2 away).

Bayer Leverkusen have won three of their last four competitive fixtures (L1), but scored just one or two goals in each of those four games. Only the one loss during that period saw them trail at half-time, whilst all three victories saw Leverkusen lead 1-0 at the break. Kevin Volland (LEV) has five Bundesliga goals this season, with four coming at home. However at home, the hosts are winless in three Bundesliga matches (D2, L1) with five of the six halves of football across those games ending level. Leverkusen have won five of the last six home H2Hs though (D1), netting a first-half opener in all five of those victories.

Leverkusen have been leading at half-time in just one of their six Bundesliga home games this term (HT: W1, D4, L1). Six of the nine home league goals scored by Leverkusen so far arrived in the opening 30 minutes. Freiburg have scored nearly half (nine) of their 20 Bundesliga goals in the last 15 minutes. In Bundesliga H2Hs, Freiburg are goalless against Leverkusen in 362 minutes of football.

Freiburg are enjoying their highest-ever Bundesliga point tally (21) after 11 matchdays, and travel here unbeaten in their last three top-flight games (W2, D1). Notably, three of the five goals they scored across those three games arrived after the 75th minute. Nils Petersen has netted four goals across Freiburg’s last three Bundesliga games – two of those came in the 90th minute or later. However on the road the visitors are winless in two Bundesliga fixtures (D1, L1), after initially winning their first three away games. Whilst they have recorded just one away clean sheet so far, Freiburg have come back to claim points in three road trips after conceding a first-half opener but then equalising before half-time.
