Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg
German Bundesliga
Date: Saturday 3rd December, 2016
Kick-off: 14:30 UK
Venue: BayArena, Leverkusen.
There is a single point currently separating the two teams in the middle part of the standings in Bundesliga. Roger Schmidt certainly cannot be satisfied with the fact that the top part of the table teams are far away after 12 rounds of the competition. The German boss faces great trouble sat the back since Bayer Leverkusen allowed way too many goals in the last couple of matches.
Truth be told, they did not have an easy schedule at all, as they had to face the current leaders RB Leipzig and the reigning champions Bayern Munich in the last two games. Freiburg’s visit will be one of the easiest fixtures since Freiburg are poor on road this season, which means that the victory is simply an imperative for Roger Schmidt and his men on Saturday afternoon!
Freiburg have also had great troubles at the back recently, having conceded four goals in each of the back-to-back defeats to Mainz and RB Leipzig. The team dropped to 11th position with three consecutive losses in Bundesliga. Christian Streich realistically has nothing to hope for ahead of the visit to BayArena.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg: Head-to-Head Stats
Bayer Leverkusen have been more successful in head to head matches winning 17 out of 34 encounters. The teams faced each other last time back in February last year when Simon Rolfes made the difference scoring the only goal of the game just after the half hour mark.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg: Prediction
The home win is the banker of the round for sure since we can’t see how Bayer Leverkusen could afford a failure in the match against struggling Freiburg. This is the ultimate opportunity for Chicharito, Calhanoglu and Brandt to confirm the quality and start the winning run after two losses!
