Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen
German Bundesliga
Date: 26 February 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 14:30 UK / 15:30 CET
Venue: Europa-Park Stadion (Freiburg im Breisgau).

Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen will lock horns in one of the most exciting ties of Matchday No 22 in German Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon at Europa-Park Stadion.

The hosts will be hoping to take advantage of momentum and claim the fourth win on the spin across competitions against the out-of-form opposition.

This match comes at a very tough moment for Bayer Leverkusen who have regularly been playing in the Sunday-Thursday rhythm of late.

Die Werkself had yet another tough European clash three days ago when they visited Stade Louis II for the tie against French heavyweights Monaco in the UEFA Europa League.

Xabi Alonso generally has huge problems with the obvious defensive holes in his team’s back line.

Bayer Leverkusen conceded three goals in each of the successive losses to Monaco and Mainz in the previous two home fixtures in all competitions.

The shocking 2-3 defeat at the hands of Mainz (last Sunday) represented the fourth loss in the last five outings across competitions for Alonso and his troops.

They will now face a very tough task in an attempt to bounce back against the likes of Freiburg who have been almost impeccable at Europa-Park Stadion so far in the season.

Freiburg have seven wins, two draws, and just one loss in ten league outings on the home patch this term. They hold the fourth position in the Bundesliga standings following a streak of three wins in the last four league rounds.
