Key Highlights

Freiburg are Looking to Make it Back-to-Back Wins in the Bundesliga

Freiburg ended their six-match winless run last Sunday when they won 1-2 away to Bochum. In their last five outings, they have won once, drawn twice, and lost twice.

The five points they have collected in this run see them sit 8th on the table with 33 points, 14 points away from the top four. However, Freiburg have a chance to fight for a European spot in the Bundesliga run-in.

They will have to be at their best coming up against the in-form Leverkusen side charging down on the title.

Xabi Alonso’s side continued their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga this season when they defeated Wolfsburg at home 2-0. They extend this form into their Europa League second leg, winning 3-2 on Thursday to progress into the quarter-finals 5-4 on aggregate.

Alonso will look to get his side refocused on the Bundesliga and the trip to Freiburg on Sunday.
