Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg Betting Tips: Leverkusen / Over 2.5

Leverkusen maintains their lead over rivals, with the latest demonstration of superiority against Qarabag, which they thrashed 5-1 on their home ground. This marked their third consecutive win in the UEFA second-tier competition, asserting their strong contention for the Europa League trophy.

As they prepare for Sunday’s clash, Bayer is focused on bringing their European triumphs to the home front, aiming to keep an unblemished record in the Bundesliga. So far, they have remained undefeated under the leadership of manager Xabi Alonso, ruling over German football with seven victories and one tie, a testament to their undeniable skill.

To be specific, apart from the exciting 2-2 tie against Bayern Munich, Die Werkself triumphed in the remaining 11 matches across various tournaments. The secret to these impressive outcomes undoubtedly lies in their potent offense, which has managed to score at least two goals in every one of the 12 games this season.

Freiburg, similar to their Sunday opponents, harnesses a victorious spirit from their midweek European escapade. They succeeded in reversing a one-goal halftime shortfall, ultimately triumphing over TSC in Backa Topola by 3-1. This allowed them to jump to the second place in Group A, equalling West Ham in points.

However, the Breisgau-Brasilianer are yet to hit their stride in the ongoing Bundesliga season. Their inconsistent track record of four victories, one draw, and three defeats suggests there’s still much room for improvement. Their initial outcomes indicate that matching last season’s fifth position finish is likely to be a tough challenge.

Despite Freiburg proving to be a challenge for the current Bundesliga leaders in recent years, with only one loss in their last five matches and gaining four points from the duels last season, we are confident that Alonso’s team, which has been performing exceptionally well, will be aiming for a decisive revenge. This is particularly likely given they have managed to score 15 goals in their four home victories this season.

Considering that all of Leverkusen’s official matches this season have witnessed more than 2.5 goals and with the fact that Freiburg has lost two of its last three away games by a three-goal margin, it becomes abundantly clear why we are favoring a home win with at least three goals in this match.

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen team news

Having witnessed his squad swiftly resolve the matter of victory against Qarabag in less than an hour midweek, manager Xabi Alonso was able to give his key players a well-deserved rest after securing the fifth goal. With no new injury worries, it’s expected that the same lineup will grace the pitch as they did against Wolfsburg last weekend.

The standout moment in Leverkusen’s third-round Europa League match was the return of Patrik Schick after an extended absence, as he played the final 30 minutes in the devastating 5-1 victory over Qarabag. Even if he’s in peak form, it’s a tough ask for the Czech striker to displace Viktor Boniface, who has been exceptional this season, netting 10 goals and providing four assists in 12 appearances.

Freiburg team news

There’s no doubt that coach Christian Streich is thrilled with his team’s remarkable comeback, as they overcame a one-goal deficit after the first 45 minutes to ultimately comfortably defeat TSC in Backa Topola with a score of 3-1, all thanks to Vincenzo Grifo‘s hat-trick.

Consequently, the Italian winger, who has been on an impressive run of form in recent weeks, is set to keep his spot in the starting eleven. Furthermore, the 58-year-old coach will have Nicolas Hofler at his disposal this weekend after the seasoned midfielder completed his one-match suspension last week.

However, it appears that Roland Sallai may not be able to participate in the Sunday visit to the current league leaders, as the Hungarian winger was forced to leave the field as early as the 22nd minute against TSC. In his place, the 22-year-old Noah Weisshaupt is expected to receive a call-up to the starting XI.
