Learn about team form, strategies, and what to expect in this crucial matchup.
Bayer Leverkusen is in great form, standing out as one of the most solid teams of the season. In their most recent league match, they secured a convincing 2-0 win against Augsburg away, showcasing a compact defense and effective attack. In the previous round, they achieved a 2-1 victory over St. Pauli, controlling the tempo and capitalizing on key opportunities.
Internationally, their performance has also been impressive. In the Champions League, they earned a crucial 1-0 victory against Inter Milan, solidifying their place in the next stage. Earlier, they thrashed Red Bull Salzburg 5-0, proving their dominance even against strong opponents. Bayer Leverkusen enters this match with a positive streak and the confidence needed to continue earning points.
SC Freiburg, under Julian Schuster’s leadership, has shown inconsistency in their recent performances. In their last match, they secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory against Wolfsburg, with their attack proving decisive in the final minutes. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim, a match where their lack of finishing cost them the win.
However, their away performance has been inconsistent. In the DFB-Pokal, they suffered a 3-1 loss to Arminia Bielefeld, struggling to adapt to the match's pace. In the Bundesliga, they achieved a 3-1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach at home but endured a heavy 4-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund as visitors. SC Freiburg will seek stability in this encounter, though facing an in-form Bayer Leverkusen will be a tough challenge.
