In-depth Analysis
The home ground has proven to be a solid stronghold for Freiburg. Since their defeat against Augsburg in the opening round last August, Freiburg have not lost again at the Europa-Park Stadion in Bundesliga matches. Alongside Bayern, Dortmund, and Stuttgart, Freiburg is one of the four teams that have only lost once at home in the 2025/26 Bundesliga season.
This also means Freiburg are maintaining a streak of 15 consecutive unbeaten matches at their home stadium. In the past 13 years, they have never shown such resilience and toughness against visiting teams.
However, Freiburg still needs to be cautious of Leverkusen, who are 10 points ahead (43 compared to 33). In recent head-to-head encounters, history does not favor Freiburg, as they have only drawn or lost in their last six meetings with Leverkusen, including four defeats. At the Europa-Park Stadion specifically, Freiburg have only won once in their last eight home games against Leverkusen.
Freiburg’s recent form also shows inconsistency, having lost 3 of their last 5 rounds. This gives Leverkusen confidence to aim for a victory on the road.
