Stats for this game
Matchup SC Freiburg VS Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen set the stronger baseline
Bayer Leverkusen have supplied the clearer winning margins in the dated Bundesliga sequence. Their 5–1 home victory in December 2024 followed a 2–1 result at home in October 2023 and a 2–0 win in March 2019. Leverkusen also won 3–0 at Freiburg in September 2017, showing that their edge can travel as well as appear at the BayArena. These results give the pairing a defined hierarchy when Leverkusen turn pressure into goals.
Freiburg can change the script
Freiburg’s home results provide a substantial counterweight. They drew 2–2 with Leverkusen in May 2025 after surrendering a two-goal lead, then shared a 3–3 in March 2026. Freiburg also won 2–1 at home in December 2021 and 3–2 at Leverkusen in September 2022, while a 1–1 in February 2023 kept another meeting level. The matchup therefore combines Leverkusen’s capacity for separation with Freiburg’s ability to make the scoreline travel in unexpected directions. A future meeting will ask whether Freiburg can extend that resistance or Leverkusen restore a more decisive shape.
