Bayer Leverkusen-Freiburg is a match of the ninth day of Bundesliga and is played on Sunday at 5:30 pm: tv, probable formations, predictions.
If you want to understand why Real Madrid is thinking of Xabi Alonso as a possible replacement for Ancelotti next year, you only need to look not only at the numbers-which are impressive-but also at a Bayer Leverkusen match. In 12 seasonal games 11 wins and only one draw. Data that will probably be updated in the evening today.
Against a Freiburg side that looks like a distant relative of those seen in past years, Bayer is aiming to take the three points and especially get back on top after Bayern Munich won against Darmstadt yesterday. There should not be much of a problem for the hosts, who are experiencing an extraordinary moment of form both physically and mentally and which does not, at least for now, hint at a decline. The team statistics, as well as the general ones of a ranking that sees the guests in eighth place, say that Leverkusen has the best defense in the league (only seven goals conceded) and that Freiburg scores very little (9 total goals). Indicators that allow us to make a clear prediction, almost a foregone conclusion.
The Prediction
On the one hand there is a lineup that wants to take back the top of the standings and that has not lost a single game so far, on the other hand there is a team that is different from that of past seasons. Normal, therefore, to think of an even fairly clear victory of Bayer Leverkusen that will return to overtake Bayern Munich. Challenge that also should also give at least three goals in total. And it is unlikely, by feeling, that the guests will be able to find the way to the net.
