Prediction: 2-2
Bayer Leverkusen
Following a goalless draw with Union Berlin, Freiburg will look to start a new winning run in the Bundesliga when they face Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 17. Christian Streich’s troops have been having their ups and downs of late, but a win over Leverkusen should see them climb to the Champions League berth. Both Yannik Keitel and Jonathan Schmid remain in the recovery room, while fit-again attacker Nils Petersen is pushing for a start.
The visitors, on the other hand, dropped a two-goal advantage in a 2-2 draw with Hoffenheim. Bayer continue to rely on top scorer Patrik Schick, who scored a brace in the midweek draw, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Moussa Diaby is banned for the match, while all Iker Bravo Solanilla, Mitchel Bakker, Julian Baumgartlinger, and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are injured for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Nils Petersen):
Son to a football coach, Andreas, the Freiburg striker Nils Petersen is a physical forward best known for his clinical finishing. A former Bayern Munich striker never got a chance to prove his worth with Bundesliga giants and had to take a long road to prominence which included loan spells at Werder Bremen and Freiburg, before penning a permanent deal with Die Breisaguer in 2015.
Petersen’s impressive exploits during the 2017/18 season helped him get into Germany’s provisional FIFA World Cup 2018 squad although his father Andreas would argue it was his personal influence that helped Joachim Loew write his son’s name in the 23-man list. Namely, Andres Piteresen spotted the Germany manager on a beach in January and decided to ask him about his son’s chances of making it into Germany World Cup squad.
Piteresen was rewarded with his senior Germany cap in an Austria friendly but unfortunately for his father missed out on the final squad for the tournament in Russia.
