Bayer Leverkusen will entertain Freiburg at BayArena in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Leverkusen are fifth in the league table with 14 points, five more than the visitors.
The hosts are unbeaten in the league since a loss to Hoffenheim in their campaign opener. They extended their winning streak in the league to three games with a 4-3 away triumph over Mainz last week. Alejandro Grimaldo bagged a first-half brace while Martin Terrier scored his first goal of the season late in the second half.
Their unbeaten streak ended after eight games in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday as they were hammered 7-2 by defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Breisgau-Brasilianer played their third consecutive draw in the league last week as they resumed their league campaign after the international break with a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. They took the lead in the second minute, and Vincenzo Grifo scored an 87th-minute equalizer after Jonathan Burkardt bagged a first-half brace for Frankfurt.
They returned to winning ways after four draws last week, recording a 2-0 home triumph over Utrecht in the UEFA Europa League. Yuito Suzuki and Grifo added goals in the first half.
