Freiburg vs Leverkusen Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 4 May 2025
🔊 On Sunday, the Europa-Park Stadium will host a match that might see one team lacking motivation. Xabi Alonso's squad will visit Freiburg, potentially already secured as Bundesliga runners-up. However, the hosts remain focused on their own ambitions, aiming for a crucial win to solidify their position in the top four.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round of the current season, Bayer thrashed Freiburg at home with a 5-1 victory. Patrik Schick netted four goals for the hosts, while Florian Wirtz added another. Vincenzo Grifo scored for the visitors. It's worth noting the scoring prowess of these opponents-they have exchanged goals in their last nine encounters. Therefore, betting on both teams to score (yes) cannot be ruled out.
Head-to-head statistics Freiburg - Leverkusen
Freiburg Team Overview
⚫ Julian Schuster's team is showing clear progress compared to last season. Back then, they finished in tenth place, but now they are sitting fourth and are in contention for the Champions League. Freiburg are on an impressive run with three consecutive victories. In the last round, they defeated Wolfsburg away (0-1), with Max Rosenfelder scoring the decisive goal.
🔗 "The Brazilians of Breisgau" cannot afford to relax in the remaining matches due to fierce competition. The team risks dropping out of the top six for European competitions, as there are many contenders. A loss to Bayer could see Freiburg slip to sixth place, with Mainz and Werder breathing down their necks. After this round, Schuster's side will face challenges from Holstein Kiel and Eintracht, who will be eager to take points off them.

Bayer Leverkusen Team Overview
🔴 In the last round, the "Pharmacists" comfortably dispatched Augsburg at the BayArena with a 2-0 victory. Goals came from Patrik Schick and Emiliano Buendia. Bayer are in excellent form, having secured five wins and one draw in their last six league matches. They currently sit in second place, trailing Bayern by 8 points.
🔗 Leverkusen will play their upcoming match a day after Bayern, leaving them hoping for a Munich defeat in Leipzig. Otherwise, the remaining fixtures lose significance. However, Bayer still need to secure a win to solidify their hold on second place, as they maintain an 8-point lead over Eintracht. The sooner they ensure their position, the better, especially with upcoming clashes against Borussia Dortmund and Mainz.

❌ Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Bruno Onugha, who have been sidelined for a while, will not play again this year. The readiness of Eren Dinkci and Manuel Gulde for the upcoming match remains uncertain.
Bayer Leverkusen
📝 Xabi Alonso is likely to continue his coaching career in Madrid. According to Kicker, Erik ten Hag is the leading candidate to replace the Spaniard. Negotiations with the former Manchester United manager are at an advanced stage.
❌ Forward Victor Boniface is doubtful for the clash against Freiburg due to a hip injury. The team will also be without Martin Terrier, Nordi Mukiele, Mario Hermoso, and Jeanuel Belocian.
🟨 Prediction on Yellow Cards
Over the previous 31 rounds, Freiburg's players have collectively earned 32 yellow cards, while Bayer's players have received 53 (averaging 1.7 per match). In their first-round encounter, the teams shared a total of three yellow cards, and we anticipate a similarly low count in the upcoming game. Therefore, betting on total yellow cards under 4 seems reasonable.
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
As we've noted, in their last nine head-to-head clashes, both teams have consistently found the back of the net. Last year at the Europa-Park, they scored five goals (2-3 in favor of Bayer), suggesting another potential goal fest. A bet on over 2.5 total goals appears to be a solid choice.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
We predict total corners under 10.5. In the last five matches, Freiburg have taken 16 corners (averaging 3.2 per match), while Bayer have taken 20 (averaging 4 per game). Moreover, this bet has been successful in 11 of Freiburg's last 12 home matches.
Editorial Prediction
The match promises to be action-packed, thanks to the high offensive activity of both teams. They have a long-standing tradition of exchanging goals, and we don't see that changing this time around. The outcome is unpredictable, so we're suggesting a bet on both teams to score (yes), which has hit in 6 of Freiburg's last 7 matches.
