Bayer 04 Leverkusen welcome the visitors Freiburg in the German Bundesliga – Round 24. The match will be held on Saturday, March, 2nd, at the BayArena (Leverkusen).
Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s latest performance has been admirable – the team demonstrate spectacular football and score in nearly each encounter. They’ve recently featured a streak of four consecutive wins – one was better than the other – over Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich, Mainz, and Fortuna. The hosts on the day were not bad in the Europa League clashes with Krasnodar. The sides registered two draws, but the Russian outfit ended victors thanks to the amazing goal away from a free-kick scored by Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov who сame off the bench. Looks like Bayer did not manage to bounce back from this failure and conceded to the leaders Borussia Dortmund in the last Bundesliga round, 2:3. In the first half-time, three goals were netted within eight minutes. Borussia made an opener, then Kevin Volland scored back. Nonetheless, the first half was won by the Dortmund team, and after the break, they increased their handicap up to two goals. The only thing that Bayer could to do is to decrease the margin. The last goal in the clash was scored by Jonathan Tah.

Bayer’s success in previous encounters does not provide for the European zone yet. The hosts sit seventh in the table with a tally of thirty-six points attained in twenty-three matches (running only one point behind the six-placed Eintracht though).
Freiburg find themselves in the lower table, on the thirteenth line. The only good news for their supporters is that they will most likely stay in the elite division. If they are lucky enough, they may climb to the eleventh or twelfth place, which is also good. Notably, the guests suffer no loss in five consecutive rounds, and they are quite effective. Particularly, Freiburg made three goals to Wolfsburg but allowed thrice as well; also, they exchanged two goals with Stuttgart. In the last fixture, Christian Streich’s men celebrated a 5:1 home hammering over Augsburg. Yet after the first half-time, Nils Petersen netted a brace, then there were goals made by Vincenzo Grifo, Gian-Luca Waldschmidt, and Florian Niederlechner. In the coming meeting with Bayer, Freiburg don’t have many chances to succeed.
The hosts’ inability to win in the last two matches does not signify that they undergo some recession. This means that Bayer have clashed with very solid opponents, first with Krasnodar in the Europa League, and then with the Bundesliga toppers. Peter Bosz’s men boast a blistering form, the team are currently on the go. The sides’ first-term meeting, held on October seventh in Freiburg, ended in a 0:0 stalemate. These days, Bayer look much fresher and faster. They are certainly stronger than Freiburg and are expected to win them at home. Therefore, we’re betting on the homeside’ win.
Prediction for the match: Bayer 04 Leverkusen to win home.
