- Venue: Europa-Park Stadion (Freiburg)
Desperate to hold on to their Champions League spot, Freiburg welcome Bayer Leverkusen to Europa-Park Stadion on Sunday in Bundesliga matchweek 32.
By making the most of RB Leipzig’s recent slip-up, SC Freiburg have surged into fourth place and moved within touching distance of a historic debut on the elite European stage, having ground out a pivotal 1-0 triumph away to ten-man Wolfsburg.
After storming to their maiden Bundesliga crown last season with a flawless unbeaten campaign, Bayer Leverkusen now face the harsh reality of surrendering the throne to Bayern Munich as an eight-point gulf with just three matches remaining appears impossible to overturn.
Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips : 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)
Although Leverkusen ran riot in the reverse fixture with a five-star attacking blitz that overwhelmed Freiburg 5-1, Xabi Alonso’s men don’t appear to be operating at the same high-octane level required to complete the double over Sunday’s hosts. Leverkusen's title defence in the Bundesliga has been somewhat derailed by a string of frustrating stalemates, with a full third of their league fixtures ending all square, a trend that has rightly earned them the tag of Germany’s undisputed draw specialists with ten such outcomes on record. One thing Die Werkself can proudly hang their hat on is their unbeaten away record in the Bundesliga, having racked up nine wins and six draws on their travels, so they’ll be determined to come through their final two top-flight road games unscathed. Leverkusen face a daunting away stretch to close out the season, and the first stop is already this weekend as they travel to a Freiburg side riding a red-hot wave of momentum after stringing together an impressive three-game winning streak against Borussia M’gladbach, Hoffenheim, and most recently Wolfsburg. With Xabi Alonso and his players well aware that they can't defend their title and facing a noticeable drop in sharpness in the final third, the Breisgau Brazilians could capitalize on Bayer Leverkusen's fading momentum and claim a bold result to strengthen their Champions League spot.

Bayer Leverkusen team news
On the other hand, Leverkusen make their way to Europa-Park without the services of defensive trio Jeanuel Belocian, Mario Hermoso, and Nordi Mukiele, as well as winger Martin Terrier, all sidelined due to injuries.
Pleased with his team's comfortable 2-0 victory over Augsburg, Xabi Alonso may stick with the same starting XI for their next match.
