Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction and Betting Tips | February 26, 2023

Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen lock horns at the Europa-Park Stadion in round 22 of the Bundesliga on Sunday (February 26).

Xabi Alonso’s men secured their place in the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League in midweek and will look to build on that.

Freiburg continue their hunt for a top-four finish with a 2-0 win over ten-man Bochum at the weekend.

Christian Streich’s side have now won their last three games, including a 2-0 victory at SV Sandhausen in the last 16 of the DFB Pokal on February 7. With 40 points from 21 games, Freiburg are fourth in the Bundesliga but could move level on points with second-placed Borussia Dortmund with a win this weekend.

Meanwhile, having suffered a first-leg 3-2 loss against Monaco in the first leg of their Europa League knockout playoff clash, Leverkusen secured a 3-2 victory in Thursday’s return leg before seeing off the Ligue 1 side 5-3 on penalties.

Alonso’s men now return to the Bundesliga where they have lost three of their last four games, with a 3-1 win at Hoffenheim on February 11 being the exception. With 27 points from 21 games, Leverkusen are tenth in the league table, level on points with 11th-placed Werder Bremen.
