• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: 17th March 2024
• Kickoff: 14:30 UTC / 15:30 CET
• Venue: Europa-Park Stadion

On Sunday afternoon, Leverkusen will be playing Freiburg away from home, seeking a win to bring them nearer to their potential first Bundesliga title.

After an intriguing few weeks that saw Freiburg draw against Bayern Munich and secure victories over Bochum in the league and West Ham in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16, they suffered a humiliating midweek defeat. The team, also known as the Breisgau Brazilians, went to London for the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 where they were trounced 0:5.

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen, trailing by two goals in the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 match, just as in the first leg, managed to secure a place in the quarter-finals thanks to two late goals from Patrick Schick. Xavi Alonso’s team will be back in action this weekend in the Bundesliga, where they currently sit ten points above record champions Bayern Munich. If they manage to avoid defeat, they will maintain an unbeaten streak of 42 games across all competitions.

Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips: Both teams to score

In their last match against West Ham United, Freiburg was unable to score even with 10 shots on goal, a rarity for them. They’ve managed to score a minimum of two goals in five of their past seven games. Thus, I anticipate them to at least score one goal in this game.

Leverkusen has managed to keep two clean sheets in their recent two Bundesliga games, however, they consistently face defensive challenges against Freiburg. In their previous five matches with Freiburg, Die Werkself was unable to maintain a clean sheet and both teams scored in every encounter.
