SC Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
Home team SC Freiburg will take on Bayern Leverkusen on Sunday afternoon in the Schwarzwald-Stadion. Peter Bosz’s team has something to make up for after the defeat the team suffered in Europe on Thursday.
Freiburg:
After five rounds, SC Freiburg is in thirteenth place. No one will be surprised, but Freiburg itself will have the idea that it could have taken more points than the six it currently has. Last week Freiburg drew 1-1 with a visit to FC Union Berlin. Vincenzo Grifo’s goal, who gave Freiburg the lead, was not enough for a win. Unlike a week earlier – when Freiburg drew 1-1 against Werder Bremen – the team was actually not entitled to that in Berlin.
So now the encounter with Bayer Leverkusen’s top team awaits. The first match that Freiburg played against one of the top players this season did not end well. At Borussia Dortmund, Freiburg let itself play to a hopeless 4-0 defeat. Die Breisgauer have often made things difficult for Bayer Leverkusen in recent years. Last year they lost 0-1, but Freiburg remained unbeaten in the five editions before that.
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen is still unbeaten in the Bundesliga, but in Europe Die Werkself lost that status last Thursday. The team of Peter Bosz could not continue the successful opening in the Europa League – OGC Nice was beaten 6-2 last week. While visiting Sparta Prague, Karim Bellarabi disadvantaged his team by committing a totally unnecessary foul early in the game. The referee rebuked his tackle with a red card.
With ten to eleven, Leverkusen could no longer make a real fist. One of the sparse opportunities was taken advantage of by Sparta, causing the red-blacks to leave the Czech capital with a 1-0 defeat. “This was completely unnecessary,” Bosz regretted after the match. ‘But it is not easy to play with ten against eleven for so long. Still, we didn’t have to lose this match with ten men. ‘ Bellarabi could well be out of favor for a while. Earlier this season he led the 1-1 equalizer of VfB Stuttgart with a stupid foul – in which he escaped a red card.
