Team News

Freiburg
Leverkusen
  • Coach Christian Streich will have to see how his side rocks up after their game against the Hammers.
  • Maximilian Eggestein is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card.
  • Max Rosenfelder has a patella injury, while Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is nearing a return from an ACL injury. Kenneth Schmidt has a pectoral injury.
  • Xabi Alonso may wield his rotation wand after the Europa League game on Thursday.
  • Victor Boniface could make his comeback from a muscle tear later this month. Jeremie Frimopong is available after suspension, while Jonas Hofmann had to be subbed off in the first half on Thursday and has to be a doubt.

Prediction

  • These two teams endured contrasting emotions in European football on Thursday.
  • Freiburg were hammered 5-0 at West Ham, while Leverkusen scored twice in added time to edge past Qarabag to stretch their unbeaten run to an astonishing 37 games.
  • All-conquering Leverkusen remain 10 points clear of nearest challengers Bayern and appear to be cruising to their first-ever league title.
  • Freiburg have conceded 19 goals in their last eight Bundesliga games, but grabbed a first league win in six games at Bochum last Sunday.
  • Leverkusen won the reverse fixture 2-1, but Freiburg should never be underestimated on home soil and this will not be a walk in the park for Xabi Alonso's side.
