Freiburg take on the visitors Bayer Leverkusen in the round 25 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, March 7th at Europa-Park Stadion (Freiburg).
Freiburg are playing on a very tight schedule. The Brazilians from Breisgau missed the chance to become a real sensation last season. They stayed among the top four for a long time, but in the final stretch allowed such an experienced rival as Borussia Dortmund to overtake them. As a result, they had to play in the Europa League, where the Germans showed strong results in the main round and will only begin their playoff campaign later in the spring. At the same time, they have already reached the semifinals of the German Cup — not without difficulties, edging out Hertha in the quarterfinal only after a penalty shootout. The busy schedule has clearly affected their stability in domestic matches, where results have recently become less consistent. The team has still managed to pick up important wins, but the heavy workload across competitions has made maintaining momentum more difficult. However, in the Bundesliga the side coached by Schuster has still taken a step back and will not finish inside the top six. After another win, against Borussia Mönchengladbach, they lost in the latest round to Eintracht Frankfurt, who recently changed their coach — the match in Frankfurt ended with a 0–2 defeat.

Bayer Leverkusen faced problems in the summer when the key figures of the 2024 golden double left the club. The decision to bet on Ten Hag during the offseason also clearly turned out to be a mistake. Fortunately, the club realized this quickly and replaced him with Hjulmand by the autumn. He managed to stabilize the team’s play, and now there are chances to achieve solid results. The team has already reached the semifinals of the German Cup. Their recent form has been quite convincing, as they have picked up several wins in different competitions and regained confidence after a difficult start to the campaign. Overall momentum has clearly shifted in their favor over the past weeks, which keeps them among the teams pushing for strong finishes in multiple tournaments. In the Champions League, the playoffs began in February — and against Olympiacos everything was essentially decided in the away match, where they won 2–0 (even though they had lost there back in January). In the Bundesliga, a winning streak helped them establish themselves among the contenders for a top-four finish, although the competition there is intense. They dropped points against Union Berlin and Mainz — a defeat and a draw. But in the rescheduled match against Hamburg, they still managed to squeeze out a 1–0 win earlier this week.
In the last five meetings, the current hosts managed to take a draw only once — at home in May last year — while the other matches were won by the Pharmacists. The visitors look more convincing. We expect the Aspirins to win this one.
Prediction for the match: Bayer Leverkusen to win.
