SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg

Bayer Leverkusen host SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga. Both sides have started the new season scoring goals for fun, though neither defence has looked completely watertight.

These two have met plenty of times down the years, and goals have rarely been in short supply whenever they clash. That pattern feels worth keeping an eye on again here.

Leverkusen's recent record is solid without being flawless. There were wins over RB Leipzig and Union Berlin and a draw at Augsburg, but also a defeat away to Elversberg.

Freiburg's recent form reads a touch tidier, home form for Leverkusen included.

Leverkusen have had joy at home in some of the more recent renewals too, including a 2-0 win last October and a 5-1 thrashing back in December 2024.

Early-season table

Four matches into the campaign, Freiburg sit third with ten points from three wins and a draw. Leverkusen are fifth on seven points after two wins, a draw and a defeat.

№ Team Played Win Draw Loss GF/GA Points
2 Bayern München 4 3 1 0 14/2 10
3 SC Freiburg 4 3 1 0 12/3 10

5 Bayer Leverkusen 4 2 1 1 10/5 7
6 FSV Mainz 05 4 2 1 1 10/6 7

It's an early snapshot rather than a settled picture, but Freiburg currently have the healthier numbers too, twelve goals scored against just three conceded.

Freiburg arrive sitting above their hosts in the table, even though they're on the road.

Firepower at both ends

Patrik Schick has been Leverkusen's main source of goals this season with four in four matches. Freiburg have spread theirs around a little more, with Suzuki and Matanović combining for seven between them over the same stretch.

Shaping up as an open game

Both sides have shown they can score goals this season, and both have also shown they can be got at. Add in a head-to-head record that regularly produces goals at both ends, and this looks more like an open contest than a tight, low-scoring one.

Picking a side outright feels trickier here than following the goals. Freiburg's form suggests they can hold their own at their hosts' ground, while Leverkusen's attack has kept firing even when results have been mixed.

With both teams prone to leaking goals and a head-to-head record full of shootouts, backing goals over backing a result looks the tidier read of this one.
