Bayer vs Freiburg: Bundesliga Match Prediction
Bayer have gained impressive momentum, winning seven matches in a row in all tournaments and clearly do not plan to stop there. Freiburg do not have such achievements, but nevertheless have not lost in the last three matches in the Bundesliga. How will the face-to-face game between the rivals on December 21 be and what bets to choose? - the answers in our forecast
Command Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen
GermanyCurrent form
In the last round, Bayer confidently won away against Augsburg with a score of 2:0 and thus extended their winning streak in the Bundesliga to four matches. Taking into account all tournaments, Leverkusen won seven matches in a row. Such success allowed Xabi Alonso charges to consolidate their second place in the table. However, the gap from their closest pursuers Eintracht and Leipzig is only two points. Bayern won their match of the 17th round and is seven points ahead of the "pharmacists". It is worth noting that Florian Wirtz stands out in the attack for Bayer, having scored 11 goals taking into account all tournaments. The team is missing Viktor Boniface, but he has already started training and may well appear on the field today.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adli and Hofmann are injured and will not play in the upcoming match. Boniface appearance on the field is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bayer have drawn with their opponents in the first half in three of their last five matches
- At least three goals have been scored in 10 of Bayer previous 11 Bundesliga matches
Estimated line-up: Hradecky - Mukiele, Tapsoba, Ta, Inkapie - Xhaka, Palacios - Frimpong, Wirtz, Grimaldo - Schick.
Freiburg
GermanyCurrent form
Freiburg have not been stable throughout the season, but after 14 rounds they are still in the top 5. Julian Schuster team has 25 points and is in fifth place in the table. The team is currently in good shape, and has not lost in the last three rounds, although the schedule was not the most difficult. They managed to win at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach (3:1) and Wolfsburg (3:2) during this period, and also had an away draw 1:1 with Hoffenheim. Ahead is the game against Bayer, to whom they lost in the two previous personal meetings, but in a close fight with a difference of one goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kjaere will not play today due to injury. Müller appearance on the field is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- In five of Freiburg last seven away matches in the Bundesliga, at least one team has failed to score.
- In 12 of Freiburg previous 14 away league games, no more than three goals have been scored
Probable line-up: Atubolu – Kübler, Ginter, Linhart, Günther – Doan, Osterhage, Eggestein, Grifo – Gregoritsch, Hoeler.

6.50Tip and bets
In the bookmakers' line, taking into account the latest successful results, Bayer receives the status of a clear favorite. However, we do not think that Leverkusen will easily score three points. The last victories were difficult for Xabi Alonso charges, it is not easy for them to maintain the advantage. Plus, Freiburg is also on the move now, on an unbeaten streak of three matches in the Bundesliga. We will add that in the last eight face-to-face confrontations, the "pharmacists" have never won with an advantage of more than one goal.
Our prediction is a Freiburg victory with an Asian handicap (+1.5) at odds of 1.81
Bet on total
Over the course of six head-to-head matches in a row, an exchange of goals was recorded. Freiburg has noticeably improved its attack in recent matches, and is quite capable of scoring its own goal today. At the same time, Bayer did not leave the field without scoring a goal in the four previous home matches.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.84
Betting on yellow cards
It should be noted that in six of the last seven personal meetings on the Bayer field, Freiburg players received at least two warnings. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
Forecast - Freiburg yellow cards total over 1.5 with odds of 1.62
