Bayer Leverkusen will entertain Freiburg at the BayArena in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Currently, Leverkusen sit fifth in the league table with 14 points, five more than their visitors. The hosts have been solid this season, remaining unbeaten in the league since their opening day loss to Hoffenheim. They recently extended their winning streak to three games with a thrilling 4-3 away victory over Mainz last week. Alejandro Grimaldo starred with a first-half brace, while Martin Terrier netted his first goal of the season late in the second half.
However, Leverkusen’s unbeaten run came to an end in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, suffering a heavy 7-2 defeat at the hands of defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
On the other hand, Freiburg—the Breisgau-Brasilianer—have shown resilience in the Bundesliga, drawing their last three consecutive league matches. They kicked off their league campaign after the international break with a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, taking an early lead before conceding late on. Vincenzo Grifo scored an important equalizer in the 87th minute after Jonathan Burkardt bagged a first-half brace for Frankfurt.
Freiburg bounced back in the UEFA Europa League, ending a streak of draws with a 2-0 home win over Utrecht. Yuito Suzuki and Grifo both contributed goals in the first half to secure the victory.
