Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen: Preview and Predictions

Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen
German Bundesliga
Date: Sunday, 23rd April 2017
Kick-off at 14:30 UK/ 15:30 CET
Venue: Schwarzwald-Stadion (Freiburg).

Bayer Leverkusen will require a serious turnaround in form if they want to stay safe in the final five matches in this term of Bundesliga.

It has generally been a dismal campaign for one of the most famous German teams since the very start of the season.

Bayer will have a very tough task to get back on the winning ways against sixth-placed Frieburg at Schwarzwald-Stadion.

Freiburg

Christian Streich’s side seemed much more dangerous in the first part of the season when they earned the top half end of the campaign after all.

The hosts have been playing hot and cold in the new year. It could have best been notoiced in their last couple of matches as they suffered a 4-0 disaster to RB Leipzig just after picking up back-to-back wins without a single goal conceded against Wolfsburg and Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen are only four points away from the relegation zone.

The good news for the new head coach is a significant improvement in the defensive line which allowed only a single goal in last three matches.

It is important to note that Leverkusen held mighty Bayern Munich to a goalless draw last weekend.

Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen: Head to head

The head to head stats absolutely favour the visiting side which suffered only a single loss in last eight meetings with Freiburg.

The previous meeting from BayArena ended in a 1-1 draw back in early December last year.

Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen: Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen definitely looked better in the last couple of matches.

The visitors must collect points if they want to avoid the relegation scrap and the match with the struggling Freiburg is the perfect opportunity for starting a positive run.
