Bayer Leverkusen - SC Freiburg 10/08/2013 14:30 BST
Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg performed extremely well last season in the German Bundesliga, ending the championship respectively at the third and the fifth place in the table. Undoubtedly this is one of the most exciting clashes of the first round of the tournament.
The home side managed to sign a new contract with the striker Stefan Kießling, who became the top scorer of the Bundesliga with 25 goals scored in season 2012/2013. However, whether Bayer is capable of reaching a higher place in the standings from last season, remains in doubt. The reason for this is that two of Bayer`s best players left the club. The strong performance of Daniel Carvajal did not go unnoticed and signed with Real Madrid. The German national Andre Schürrle signed with Chelsea and so two key players of Leverkusen are already off the team and it`s quite curious how the coach Sami Hyypiä will cope without them.
The team of Freiburg was also left by a bunch of players and now manager Christian Streich will rely heavily on young footballers. This first match of the new season for Freiburg is expected to be extremely difficult for the team, having in mind the statistics of the meetings between these two teams. Leverkusen dominates completely with no loss to Freiburg in 11 of their last 12 games against this opponent. Also in these matches in the league, Leverkusen has 10 wins against only 4 for Freiburg.
