Leverkusen look to extend winning streak
Leverkusen recent form
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have hit a purple patch in all competitions, beating RB Leipzig 2-0 at home and edging Mainz 4-3 away to make it 3 straight wins in all tournaments. Sitting 4th in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 10 points from 5 games, Leverkusen trail their guests, SC Freiburg, by 1 place, and will need to keep their momentum going to stay ahead of the Breisgau-Brasilianer.
Leverkusen tactics
Carles Martinez's men play a refined positional-possession game with the capability to play vertically and counter-press, while the Werkself have looked well drilled in their first few games of the new campaign.
Freiburg standing and style
Freiburg are 3rd in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 10 points from 4 matches, they arrive at the BayArena with a slight edge in the table and a game in hand over Leverkusen. Julian Schuster has Freiburg playing an organised, compact, and transition-based game. Freiburg are a disciplined, compact unit when out of possession and an immediate, counter-attacking threat when in possession. Their work rate and pressing game is likely to keep games tight.
Freiburg form
Freiburg are in good form in all current competitions, with their last 5 matches reading 4 wins and 1 draw. They are however yet to face any of the Bundesliga 2026/2027's bigger teams and it remains to be seen if their momentum carries over to the toughest challenge of the season so far.
Leverkusen to edge a tight contest
Leverkusen are likely to edge this one out, but Freiburg will make them work for it at the very least. The Breisgau-Brasilianer have been excellent on the road in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, going unbeaten in 2 away games, winning 1 and drawing 1. They have scored 3 away goals and with 4 in 4, Yuito Suzuki is their biggest threat in front of goal, the type of sharp finisher who can punish Leverkusen if they are caught overplaying.
Leverkusen are 3-game winning at home and look to be building the BayArena into a fortress, but Freiburg have been undefeated in their last 5 matches in all current competitions and are also a force to be reckoned with. Freiburg haven't won in their last 2 Bundesliga trips to Leverkusen, so I am giving Leverkusen the slight edge in this one.
This feels like a top-four battle, not a foregone conclusion home win.
- Bayer 04 Leverkusen are 1.7 favorites for this game and I think they are right to be, but Freiburg will certainly keep this game competitive at the very least.
- Patrik Schick is the main man for Leverkusen, who lead the Bundesliga 2026/2027 scoring charts with 4 goals in 4 games, 4 of the Werkself's last 13 in all current competitions have been scored by the Czech.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.43 is a good price for this, but it should be shorter.
- I am going for the goals and both teams to score at 1.49 here as a little safer play.
