Bayer Leverkusen not only put an end to their disappointing losing start to this new German top flight campaign last weekend but they also recorded their first win of the season by way of a comprehensive 3-0 victory away from home at Mainz, to give them a welcome boost ahead of this weekend’s Bundesliga fixtures.
Bayer Leverkusen now return to the more familiar surroundings of their BayArena for this Saturday afternoon’s clash against Freiburg no doubt looking to erase the memory of their initial three defeats on the trot this term which saw the hosts slip to losses against Borussia Dortmund, Augsburg and Hoffenheim respectively.
Goals have featured in Bayer Leverkusen’s games so far this season as three of their four encounters have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Аnd indeed their last fixture at home against their upcoming opponents, Freiburg, also ended with three goals being scored in a 2-1 home win for Bayer Leverkusen.
The bigger picture shows 10 of Bayer Leverkusen’s last 13 home matches overall in the Bundesliga have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Freiburg will make their way to the BayArena for this Saturday’s clash against Bayer Leverkusen, looking to make it three wins on the trot in the domestic top flight following recent wins against Stuttgart and Bochum, both of which were by 1-0 margins.
Goals featured in Freiburg’s opening two games of this new Bundesliga campaign though as they were involved in a 4-0 win away at Augsburg before falling victim to a heavy 3-1 loss at home to Borussia Dortmund.
In addition, the prospect of goals where Freiburg are concerned also look a strong possibility as nine of the visitors’ last 11 matches have also resulted in over 2.5 goals and Freiburg have also produced some impressive results away from home of late as they have won four of their last five outings on the road.
With both Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg winning their previous respective games in the Bundesliga, both teams are expected to start this fixture on the front foot with both believing they can grab all three points from this clash, and this should result in further goals.
Five out of the previous six meetings between Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg have resulted in over 2.5 goals and this Saturday’s clash could see this trend continuing at the BayArena.
