Bayer Leverkusen vs SC Freiburg — Tips & Analysis

SC Freiburg +1: Freiburg are the side in form here, and that is why we are on them. They have won four of their last five games, with a tie in the other. They have 13 points from five league games and are the higher placed of these two. They score more than 2 goals a game, and 2 goals a game on the road. Leverkusen are strong at home. They have won four of their last five there and score almost 3 goals a game overall. What pulls them back is the team news. Terrier, Kofane and Ben Seghir are all out, so three attackers are missing from the front line. Both teams played in Europe on Thursday and have had three days since. Almost everything about this game points to goals. Freiburg's games average 4 goals in total, and 14 of their last 16 had 3 or more. The last five meetings read 3-3, 2-0, 2-2, 5-1 and 3-2. A 2-2 looks the most likely result, and Freiburg taking something from this is just what we want. The clear risk is Leverkusen at home. That home run came with very little let in, under a goal a game. They have also won by 2 or more goals in 6 of their last 12. Freiburg are without Suzuki after his red card, and Yilmaz is short of match fitness. We are still with Freiburg to stay in this one.
