Coming off a loss against Werder Bremen at home, Freiburg went to visit Eintracht Frankfurt and obtained a 3-3 draw in what was a fascinating match, but it’s the first result which leaves some doubts. It’s true that Werder Bremen are on the brink of relegation, but they had won or drawn 7 out of 13 matches away from home, while Freiburg had lost 5 out of 13 matches.
This time it’s a completely different team that comes into Freiburg trying to snatch some points, it’s Bayer Leverkusen who are fifth place in the competition and 15 points ahead of their rivals. They have just suffered a horrendous defeat against Wolfsburg at home (1-4) and will look to get things back on track on the road, where they have been in superb form with their last away loss coming against Hoffenheim in a 2-1 defeat on the 1st of February 2020. Since that game, Leverkusen have gone on to score 3 or more goals in all but one away match, including two of their Europa League away ties.
The odds of Leverkusen scoring more than 2.5 goals are at 2.75, but Freiburg only allowed 3 goals against Bayern Munich at home this season. That is an odd I would be wary off, and will stay away from.
I like Leverkusen to take the match today, as Freiburg have lost 5 matches at home, and Leverkusen have only lost 4 away matches this season in the Bundesliga, while they sit at a 6-game unbeaten streak when away at the moment.
Pick: Bayer Leverkusen at 1.66
