Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2022-05-13 16:30.
Bayer Leverkusenâs 2021/22 season will draw to a close at the BayArena after three successive multi-goal league wins officially secured third spot in the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League (UCL) football next season. Whilst itâs been nearly 30 years since their last trophy, the âEternal Bridesmaidsâ can also celebrate breaking their record for goals scored in a single campaign, notching up 78 this term to surpass 2001/02âs tally of 77.
While theyâve been more successful on their travels this season than at home (32 points vs 29), Leverkusen have only lost twice at home in the league since late October (W7, D2), scoring an impressive 28 goals across that time (GA:11). Trailing at the break in just one Bundesliga match here all season, Leverkusen will look for another good start to close out their season on a high.
Opponents Freiburg have had a wonderful season and a win here could even see them snatch fourth place and a Champions League spot if fellow DFB finalists RB Leipzig slip up. A 4-1 loss to Union Berlin last time out was damaging, but having beaten Leverkusen in their last two H2Hs, theyâll be confident they can give themselves an opportunity to finish in the top four for the first time since 1994/95.
Freiburgâs away form may be peaking at just the right time then as theyâre undefeated in their last five league games on their travels (W3, D2). Hitting the road for the final game of the season hasnât paid dividends in the past however, highlighted by the fact that Frieburg have lost their last seven away league matches on the final day!
Players to watch: Patrik Schick has scored four goals in Leverkusenâs recent three-match winning streak, also netting his sideâs opener in eight of his last 12 goalscoring outings. While Lucas Höler has come alive late for Freiburg, scoring four of his last five goals after half-time.
Hot stat: Freiburg have only dropped seven points all campaign when opening the scoring, a league-low.
