Bayer Leverkusen vs SC Freiburg Predictions

• Leverkusen have won seven games in a row in all competitions
• Leverkusen are undefeated in their last 12 Bundesliga matches
• Freiburg have failed to score in three of their seven away Bundesliga games this season

Leverkusen looking like they are back to their best

Bayer Leverkusen will look to extend their impressive unbeaten run when they host Freiburg at the BayArena on Saturday. Die Werkself have come through a lean patch where they won only one of six games in all competitions and are getting back to their scintillating form of last season.

Xabi Alonso’s side are undefeated in their last 12 league matches and have won seven in a row in all competitions.

Their record against Freiburg is equally impressive, having won 15 of their 29 previous encounters, and they should have enough firepower and momentum to collect another three points this weekend.

Freiburg are failing to fire away from home

Freiburg’s away form has been a major issue this season. They have failed to score in 43% of their road games, a statistic that doesn’t bode well against a Leverkusen side that has been solid defensively at home. The visitors have also struggled to keep pace with Leverkusen’s goal-scoring prowess, netting just 20 goals compared to Leverkusen’s 32 this season.

While Freiburg sit in a respectable fifth place, their recent performances suggest they may struggle to contain Leverkusen’s attacking threat. They were held to draws at lower-half Union Berlin and Hoffenheim during a run of four away games where they were well beaten by RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.

Those results suggest it is worth backing Leverkusen to cover a -1 handicap in this clash, which they have done in three of their last six home games in all competitions.
