Leverkusen look to maintain home record
Bayer 04 Leverkusen host SC Freiburg at BayArena on Sunday in a top-four clash in the Bundesliga 2026/2027. The hosts are on a three-match winning streak across all competitions and enter this game off the back of a 2-0 home win over RB Leipzig and a 4-3 win at Mainz.
Carles Martinez has the Werkself playing a sophisticated positional-possession game, with an emphasis on verticality and counter-pressing, and it seems as though they are a well-oiled machine already.
Patrik Schick is Leverkusen's main man, scoring 4 in 4 Bundesliga 2026/2027 to top their scoring charts and netting 4 of their last 13 goals in all competitions.
Freiburg are no pushovers
SC Freiburg will test Leverkusen's backline, however, as Julian Schuster's Breisgau-Brasilianer are 3rd in the table with 10 points from 4 games. Freiburg enter this fixture with a slight edge in the standings and a game in hand.
The visitors are also in good form, with their last 5 matches in all current competitions reading W4, D1. Freiburg are travelling well in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, going unbeaten in their 2 away games, while they've scored 3 away goals and a 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt and a 4-2 home win over Luzern indicate there's more to their momentum than meets the eye.
Yuito Suzuki has emerged as Freiburg's biggest threat, with 4 goals in as many Bundesliga 2026/2027 matches. The Japanese international has the sort of finish that can punish a mistake and we're backing him to find the net at BayArena.
Leverkusen looking to edge it
The odds are hard to ignore here, with Leverkusen coming in at 7/10, Freiburg at 191/50 and the draw at 351/100.
This is an odd game to call as Leverkusen are favourites, but Freiburg's form and standing in the table mean that this is not a straight-forward home job. As such, we're siding with the visitors to keep this one honest.
Freiburg are a compact team that are capable of transitioning very quickly, so this is a real top-four scrap. But Leverkusen should be the likelier of the pair to win, especially as Freiburg have failed to beat the Werkself in their last 2 away Bundesliga games.
Over 2.5 goals is a good fit for the game, with both teams to score also live at 49/100. We're going for a hard-fought 2-1 win for Leverkusen, however, as Martinez's team should have more of a go and have shown they can grind out results.
The last meeting in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 finished 3-3 at Freiburg's home, so we remember this matchup can be an open and wild affair.
