Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Europa-Park Stadion will host Sunday’s Bundesliga game between Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen, the two teams who defeated Bochum and Wolfsburg respectively in their last league matches. Christian Streich’s troops did well to put an end to their six-game winless run at the weekend, but they will have a mountain to climb against the league leaders. Maximilian Eggestein is sidelined through suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The BayArena outfit, meanwhile, defeated the ten-man Wolves on Matchday 25 to cement first place in the standings. Bayer Leverkusen are more of a team than Freiburg and we predict that Xabi Alonso’s troops are going to move one step closer to winning their first Bundesliga trophy. Morocco midfielder Amine Adli is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while Jeremie Frimpong is out of contention through suspension. Top scorer Victor Boniface is a long-term absentee.
