Bayer Leverkusen take on the visitors Freiburg in the round 5 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 3rd at BayArena (Leverkusen).
Bayer had a good last season after a long bad period. The decision to bet on Gheorardo Seoane in 2021 caused controversy. But the Swiss did an excellent job, bringing the “aspirins” into the quartet of leaders. That's just now the representative of Leverkusen failed a new start. Already in the cup there was a “bell”: they lost 3-4 on the road to Elfersberg from the 3rd division. Okay, after that, to lose the minimum in Dortmund to the local Borussia. But this was followed by defeats in their own arena to Augsburg and Hoffenheim. Moreover, the "peasants" completely defeated the favorite 3-0! It was only last Saturday that we finally managed to rehabilitate ourselves in front of our fans. Moreover, all 3 goals to "Mainz" on the road fit in the interval of less than a quarter of an hour, from the 29th to the 41st minute. The hero was Frimpong, who scored a double. For the entire time of the Dutchman's performances in Germany, a season and a half, he had only 1 goal in his asset.

Freiburg had an unexpectedly good last season. Yes, the “Brazilians from Breisgau” were 3 points behind the “Bulls”, having lost the dispute for the 4th, “championship” place. And then they also lost in the final of the German Cup. But at the same time, the 6th position has become one of the best results of the team in recent decades. Now the wards of Christian Streich will play in the group stage of the Europa League. It was intriguing how the team would play next in the new season after the summer break. So far, we can state that it seems that it is possible to keep the set bar. Freiburg lost only once so far, Dortmund Borussia. At the same time, it turned out to start from away 2-1 with Kaiserslautern in the cup. And in the Bundesliga, they managed to win against Augsburg, Stuttgart and Bochum. Vincenzo Grifo started the championship powerfully: the 29-year-old footballer, who did not finish any of the 4 matches, already scored 3 goals.
In the last two championships, the clubs exchanged victories in head-to-heads. Only last season they were away victories, and in 2021/2022 they gave home 2-1. Bookmakers consider Bayer to be the favorite of the confrontation. But Freiburg looks more convincing at the start of the season, so we bet that the guests will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Freiburg to win with +0.5 handicap (X2).
