Freiburg, Recent FormFreiburg have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 away win against Bochum in their previous league match. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Bochum who had 16 attempts and 6 on target.
Christian Streich, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 14 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 9 goals scored. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 9 out of 10 home games.
They have been performing well at Europa-Park Stadion recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
When it comes to home matches at Europa-Park Stadion, Vincenzo Grifo will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Freiburg in their last 6 home games.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormThe Bayer Leverkusen squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Mainz 05, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they recorded 67 % of the possession, with 21 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 12 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Xabi Alonso will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. Away from home they have not had their troubles to seek, with at least 1 goal conceded in 9 of their last 10 away league matches this season, making points hard to come by on the road.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Leverkusen recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Bayer Leverkusen, Moussa Diaby will be looking to add more goals against Freiburg in this match.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Bayer Leverkusen who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-3 to Freiburg.
Die Werkself will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Freiburg having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings. When Leverkusen visit Breisgau-Brasilianer in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
Freiburg player Lucas Höler will be feeling confident about recording goals against Leverkusen ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
With only Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Cruciate ligament) and Roland Sallai (Eye) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Christian Streich will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Xabi Alonso has a number of injury concerns in his Leverkusen squad to contend with: Charles Aránguiz (Calf), Moussa Diaby (Groin) and Andrey Lunyov (Back)
