Why Bet on Bayer Leverkusen
It was a surprising start for Bayer Leverkusen, but the worse. Its first 3 games are counted by defeats: Borussia Dortmund (1-0), Augsburg (1-2), and Hoffenheim (0-3). However, last weekend it was finally able to achieve a positive result and did so as a visitor, against Mainz, whom it defeated 0-3 with a brace from Jeremie Frimpong and a goal from Exequiel Palacios.
Gerardo Seoane’s team, which aims to fight for a place in the European competitions, hopes to continue improving to climb the table, and getting points from who seems to be a direct rival will be very important. The winger Callum Hudson-Odoi would be arriving these days from Chelsea to sign a one-year loan.
The players Piero Hincapié and Mitchel Bakker were sent off in the last game so they will not be available this weekend and the coach will have to see who he puts in left back since he does not have either of his two starters.
Why Bet on Freiburg
Unlike Leverkusen, Freiburg’s start has been surprising but positive. They have achieved wins against Augsburg (0-4), Stuttgart (0-1), and Bochum (1-0), and only lost once against Borussia Dortmund (1-3).
With 9 points they are in the third position, 1 point behind Bayern München and Union Berlin, and have the second-best defense in the tournament (3 goals against). This defensive solidity is partly due to Matthias Ginter, one of the new reinforcements and who, in addition to security, has also contributed on offense since he has scored 1 goal and provided 1 assist. Forward Michael Gregoritsch, another of the new players, has also entered very well and has 2 goals and assists, while the Japanese Ritsu Doan has 2 goals this season.
Vincenzo Grifo, with 3 goals, is the team’s top scorer, and he gave the team the last 6 points, as both games were won 1-0 with his goals.
