Freiburg-Bayer Leverkusen is a match in the 26th day of the Bundesliga and is played on Sunday at 3:30pm: TV, lineups and predictions
Do we say it? We say it. Yes, this undoubtedly could definitely be the year of Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, a team that still has not lost a single game this season despite coming really close in the doubleheader against Qarabag. Last Thursday, the “aspirins” even turned the match completely around in the dying minutes thanks to former Roma man Schick’s brace. And now they aim to continue winning in the league as well.
Freiburg were also busy in the Europa League in the English away match against West Ham: but the German Bianconeri came back with broken bones as they lost five-nil and waved goodbye to the competition. This is certainly not a good calling card to show the league leader who wants to leave at the break with a nice margin over Bayern Munich.
Bearing in mind that Leverkusen, in addition to being evidently lucky (but if it’s the year is the year…) also plays good ball, with quality, then we can safely say that the final result of this match also seems quite outlined, written. And let’s go to see below what our prediction is.
The prediction
The match will surely provide some emotions: first of all, it will be a match of at least one goal per team and also of at least three (or maybe more) goals in total. A match that Leverkusen will manage to bring home even with a little difficulty, but in the end Xhaka and his teammates should remain, in the worst case scenario since Bayern Munich plays first, with the same current gap against their rivals for the championship race. We started one way and end the same. Yes, it is the year of Bayer Leverkusen.
