Bayer Leverkusen will come into the game following a 2-0 Bundesliga win with the defeat of Augsburg in their previous fixture.

In that match, Bayer Leverkusen had 53% possession and 14 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. For Bayer Leverkusen, goals were scored by Patrik Schick (13') and Emiliano Buendía (45'). On the other side, Augsburg got 11 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.

A succession of steadfast displays by the Bayer Leverkusen defence has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their past 6 clashes overall. Over that same period, their own forwards have managed to score 8. Having said that, we must now wait to see if that pattern will continue on in this game or not.

Taking a look at their past results, Bayer Leverkusen:

• remain unbeaten by Freiburg in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 32 away league matches. A stunning run.

ℹ️ Team News: Freiburg

Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Knee surgery) and Bruno Ogbus (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be available for Freiburg manager Julian Schuster.

In all likelihood, Freiburg may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for the game and select Florian Mueller, Max Rosenfelder, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Jordy Makengo, Maximilian Eggestein, Patrick Osterhage, Ritsu Doan, Lucas Hoeler, Vincenzo Grifo and Chukwubuike Adamu.

📰 Team News: Bayer Leverkusen

We believe Leverkusen might begin the game with a 4-4-1-1 formation, giving starts to Matej Kovar, Arthur, Jonathan Tah, Edmond Tapsoba, Alejandro Grimaldo, Nathan Tella, Granit Xhaka, Robert Andrich, Emiliano Buendia, Florian Wirtz and Patrik Schick.

💡 Prediction

Our assessment here is that Freiburg could find themselves struggling to put one past this Bayer Leverkusen lineup who we think will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore seeing a narrow 0-1 winning score for Bayer Leverkusen at the end of this one.

A close call.
