Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Augsburg in a 1-2 defeat. Hoffenheim also proved too hard to handle, as they won 0-3, before Bayer Leverkusen were able to strike back last time out in a 0-3 win against Mainz 05. Bayer Leverkusen won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga, while also drawing zero. They suffered three defeats, while they scored seven and conceded eight goals.

Taking the title might be too much of a stretch, but after their top four finish last season, Bayer Leverkusen are certainly aiming for the podium this season.

Freiburg won twice in their last three matches, but began by losing 1-3 against B. Dortmund, before beating VfB Stuttgart 0-1. Another win followed, this time by 1-0 against Bochum. Freiburg came through their last six away games in the Bundesliga with four wins. Of those six matches, they drew once and lost once in which, they scored 12 and conceded six.

Freiburg have their target set on sneaking inside the top six of the Bundesliga this season, and they have the qualities to at least a finish inside the top third.

This particular encounter between Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win on Saturday.
