Stadium: BayArena (Leverkusen)
21.12.2024 20:30
Bayer Leverkusen closed the gap between themselves and Bayern Munich at the top of the rankings by taking advantage of Bayern Munich's mistake at Mainz last weekend. The reigning champions secured an important three-pointer thanks to goals scored by Martin Terrier and Florian Wirtz in the first half of the game. The team's trip to Augsburg was difficult. For Xabvi Alonso's team, this was the fourth consecutive league victory. They will play host to Freiburg in the final game of the Bundesliga schedule on Saturday, giving them a fantastic opportunity to finish the year in outstanding fashion.
Similarly, Freiburg will enter this competition on a high note. Over the past weekend, they defeated Wolfsburg by a score of 3-2 at their stadium, making it one of the most exciting games of the first half of the season. There were nearly forty total attempts made by both teams combined, making it a game that was open and full of opportunities on both sides of the ball.
As a football enthusiast who follows the dynamics of the game, I am of the opinion that Bayer Leverkusen should have no trouble scoring and taking all three in this matchup, despite the fact that it is a matchup between two teams that are ranked among the top five. This is because Leverkusen is now in a strong position in the league, having won four games in a row. It would be irresponsible for them to lose points at home, especially considering that they are currently four points behind Bayern Munich in the standings.

Since Leverkusen's return from the international break in November, they have been doing exceptionally well, as seen by their seven-game winning streak across all competitions. Following a 5-0 victory over Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League, Die Werkself began their run with victories in the league against Heidenheim and Union Berlin. Additionally, they won the Champions League tournament. They went on to win the DFB-Pokal and the league, respectively, over Bayern Munich and St. Pauli, and then they went on to win the Champions League against Inter Milan by a close margin of 1-0.
Xabi Alonso's team had yet another good outing in their match against Augsburg, which took place on the road last Saturday. They were able to take advantage of Bayern's loss to Mainz by earning all three points. This moved the team from second place to within four points of Bayern, who are currently in first place.
SC Freiburg
Due to the fact that they have won seven of their fourteen league games, drawn three of them, and lost four of them, Freiburg will travel into the weekend in fifth place. In recent times, they have demonstrated that they are difficult to defeat since they have never lost more than one of their past six matches in the Bundesliga. On November 23, they suffered their only loss during that period, which was a devastating 4-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund. This was their only loss throughout that timeframe.
The result was that they were able to recover and end up collecting seven points from their most recent three league matches. Freiburg won at home against Borussia Monchengladbach and then drew agains Hoffenheim. In the most recent match that Freiburg played at home against Wolfsburg, they were able to secure all of the points by overcoming a late comeback.
With the exception of their victory over Werder Bremen on October 5, they have not been victorious in any of their last four Bundesliga matches played away from home. They will be looking to bring that form with them on their travels.

Expert Betting Tips
Freiburg has been dominant on their home field with five of Freiburg's seven victories in the league this season secured on home ground. They have not been victorious in any of their five consecutive matches played away. As part of the DFB Pokal, the team suffered a loss on the road against Arminia Bielefeld, which was in a lower division, by a score of 1-3.
Considering team form, head-to-head, and player statistics, I expect Leverkusen to win by at least 2 goals.
