Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Sunday’s football game between Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg will bring down the curtain on day 9 of the new Bundesliga campaign. The BayArena outfit are determined to win their first Bundesliga title and their displays in the first half of the season are surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. Both Ayman Aourir and Arthur are sidelined with injuries, but boss Xabi Alonso can count on key players for Sunday’s clash.
Christian Streich’s men, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich, with the team beating Bochum at home ground, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the league leaders are going to pick up all three points from the match. In their last meeting at BayArena Freiburg shocked Leverkusen, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. The visitors will be without Yannik Keitel, Max Rosenfelder, Christian Gunter, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh this time out as the quartet misses out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Granit Xhaka):
Granit Xhaka is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders at the moment and he is on the radar of quite a few high-profile sides. Just two seasons at FC Basel proved enough to attract interest from Borussia M’gladbach, who secured his signature in the summer of 2012.
The Switzerland international had a slow start to his career in Germany, causing many pundits to start doubting his credentials, but he eventually turn things around to show he is more than capable of playing at the highest level. Acting as a deep-lying playmaker, Xhaka impressed fans and pundits alike with his performances in Bundesliga and European competitions, and he even managed to score a couple of important goals in the process.
Despite his fragile age, the highly regarded footballer has been a key member of the Switzerland national team for quite some time now, scoring 6 goals in his first 40 caps to establish himself as a real leader of the Rossocrociati. The 2014 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four starts, should prove just the first of many major tournaments to come.
