Bayer Leverkusen continue to be foot perfect in their quest to land the German Bundesliga, with the team having already accrued 67 points from their 25 games played this season. They have been just as strong on the road as they have at the Bayer Arena, with away stats of ten wins and two draws, with no side able to defeat them yet this term.
There continues to be speculation that Xabi Alonso will replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield at the end of the season, although the Spaniard is currently focused on landing a rare title success for this historic club and a victory at Freiburg will make this a likely occurrence. Recent wins have shown the team to be rock solid from a defensive point-of-view.
There was a 2-0 win over Wolfsburg which came after a 2-0 success away to Cologne, with that 3-0 win over Bayern Munich last month demonstrating their title credentials. It’s doubtful that we’ll see the league leaders drop enough points to see Thomas Tuchel’s side inch into contention and defend their crown.
Freiburg sit in eighth place after a decent campaign so far, with five wins and five draws coming in twelve home games, with the team recently beating West Ham 1-0 before claiming a 2-1 success away to Bochum. We should also note that the team were able to hold Bayern Munich to a recent 2-2 draw where they managed a late equaliser.
