Leverkusen to continue dominance
Under Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen have had a terrific start to the season. They’ve won seven and drawn one of their eight league games. They’ve also won all three of their Europa League games.
In their eight games, Die Werkself scored 25 goals, scoring 2+ in every game. They also beat Teutonia Ottensen (8-0) and Alemannia Aachen (4-2) in the DFB Pokal, Molde (1-2), and Hacken (4-0).
In five of their six home games, Bayer Leverkusen has won by two or more goals, the only exception being the 3-2 triumph over RB Leipzig.
Freiburg currently sit 8th in the league, with 13 points from eight games. Christian Streich’s side have competed against four sides currently ranked higher than them in the league. They lost all three and drew one by a combined scoreline of 2-12.
Considering Bayer Leverkusen’s almost impeccable record to date and Freiburg’s poor record against higher-ranked teams, betting on Leverkusen to win by two or more goals seems valuable when looking at the Leverkusen vs Freiburg odds. For this bet to win, the hosts have to win by two goals or more.

Boniface on fire
Victor Boniface’s career has skyrocketed since making his debut as a teenager for the Norwegian side, Bodo/Glimt. His form for the two-time Norwegian champions paved the way for his transfer to the Belgian side USG, where he finished the season as a joint-top scorer in the Europa League.
This impressed Bayer Leverkusen, who signed him on a five-year contract. The 22-year-old Nigerian has made an impressive impact in the Bundesliga, scoring seven goals and laying on three assists in eight games. Additionally, he’s scored twice in three cup competitions.
So far, only Harry Kane (9 goals) and Serhou Guirassy (14 goals) have outscored the Nigerian and we expect him to increase his tally in a dominant performance for Leverkusen.

Freiburg to Draw a Blank
Some teams can struggle in league matches immediately after European fixtures. I do not expect that will affec the hosts in this match and the next of our Leverkusen vs Freiburg tips centres on the visitors.
We’ve already discussed Freiburg’s struggles when travelling away to sides in form. They failed to scored in three of those matches and barely carried an attacking threat in some.
They’ve failed to score in 75% of their away matches so far and we expect that number to rise after this game.
Leverkusen are hardly the most defensively solid team in the German top flight but the visitors should help them out here. This is the final of our Leverkusen vs Freiburg tips and perhaps carries the most value.
