Betting on Freiburg
Freiburg is going through a great campaign and still hopes to continue fighting for the title, since at the moment only three points separate them from the top three in the standings. So far their record is positive with 12 wins, four draws and five defeats in 21 games, and the best part is that they have only lost one of their last five matches.
Only one of those five defeats has come at home, and this gives the local team hopes that in this match it will be able to salvage points with a win or a draw. It is worth mentioning that Freiburg has not lost at home since August 2022 and since then has played 13 matches in all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Mark Flekken; Dominique Heintz, Philipp Lienhart, Matthias Ginter, Lukas Kübler; Nicolas Höfler, Maximilian Eggestein; Vincenzo Grifo, Lucas Höler, Ritsu Doan; Michael Gregoritsch
Betting on Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen’s campaign has not been good. The team performance during this season was very inconsistent, and these irregularities are the reason why they appear in tenth position after 21 matchdays. They have a record of eight wins, three draws and 10 defeats, and just lost their last match by a score of 3-2 against Mainz.
To make matters worse for the visitors, they have lost three of their last five games and while two of their defeats came against opponents higher up the standings, the two victories came against opponents at the bottom of the table. The team is prioritizing the Europa League, where it recently booked its ticket to the round of 16 after beating Monaco. Perhaps that away win in the international competition will be the incentive needed to seek another away victory in the Bundesliga.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Lukás Hrádecky; Odilon Kossounou, Daley Sinkgraven, Edmond Tapsoba; Mitchel Bakker, Robert Andrich, Exequiel Palacios, Jeremie Frimpong; Florian Wirtz, Kerem Demirbay; Adam Hlozek.
JefeBet Prediction
There are several aspects that make Freiburg the clear favorite to take all three points here. Their overall statistics are better than those of their opponents, and they are also one of the strongest teams at home.
What is certain is that it does not ensure undefeated records, as it has just one in its last five home games in the Bundesliga. Therefore, even if the local team is the winner, it could let his opponent score as well.
Prediction: Freiburg wins by a score of 2-1.
