A little more than half an hour is over and both teams are not yet operating with an open visor. The guests don’t have to, and the hosts also want to get success through needles.

18:01
The corner is also not harmless. Ritsu Dōan brings the ball to the middle from the right. Max Rosenfelder climbs up there, but his header goes well past the goal and so there is a kick for Leverkusen.
28.
18:00
There is corner kick for the hosts. Vincenzo Grifo brings the ball from the left into the middle. There is some chaos there, and in the end Lienhart falls. However, that was too little for a penalty. Shortly afterwards Grifo comes to a conclusion again, but his attempt is blocked for the corner kick.

Yellow card for Johan Manzambi (SC Freiburg)
Manzambi loses the leather and can then only save himself with a tactical foul on Álex Grimaldo. Yellow is okay.
24.
17:55
The host’s high pressing almost pays off. Jonathan Tah feels a little too safe and is prevented from the liberation from behind. However, the Freiburg then need too much time to control the leather, and so this option fizzles out.
22.
17:53
Leverkusen combines well out of the pressure on the left side. In the end, Aleix García crosses the left half field, but his cross is far too high and brings no danger.
20.
17:52
So far, the last punch on both sides is missing on the offensive. The pace is often taken out or technical shortcomings are sneaking in, which prevent greater risk of gate.
18.
17:49
Vincenzo Grifo! The captain of the Breisgauer comes to the ball 18 meters in front of the goal and simply touches a heart. Matěj Kovář has slight problems with the central shot, but can secure the ball in the aftermath.

17:47
Now Jordy Makengo penetrates into the sixteen over the left side. The full -back wants to play in the middle of the baseline, but his cross is blocked. The subsequent corner kick brings no danger.
14.
17:46
There is a short quarter of an hour and so far the game has been quite calm. The Leverkuseners have more possession, but they don’t really become mandatory. The hosts, on the other hand, rely on their switching game, but the Werkself has hardly offered any target.
12.
17:43
Now there is another approach. On the right side, Florian Wirtz has some space and is looking for Patrik Schick with his cross. However, the flank is too inaccurate, so Florian Müller in the box of the hosts can safely tackle.
10.
17:41
Now Matthias Ginter is playing a long ball from his own half towards Jordy Makengo. However, the full -back was too far ahead and so the referee team decides on the side.
7.
17:37
Granit Xhaka has an idea and plays a passport. This should reach Wirtz, but the youngster had a different idea – and so the ball truds over the goal line.
5.
17:35
The guests from Leverkusen are now circulating the leather in their own ranks, without creating a lot of pressure forward. So far it is a very cautious start.
3.
17:34
The Freiburg are very high and try to put the Werkelf under pressure immediately. So far, however, the Xabi Alonso team can free itself from these situations.

17:30
Let’s go! The hosts in Red join in and play in the first half from left to right.

Start of the game
17:18
Let’s take a look at the lists. Julian Schuster once exchanged the victory against VfL Wolfsburg. Manzambi starts instead of Höler (not in the squad). Xabi Alonso changes triple: Arthur, Andrich and Tella take a seat on the bench, and Hincapié, Frimpong and Aleix Garcia begin.
17:06
The guests are actually nothing more. Due to the point of Bayern Munich yesterday, the gap is three points three games before the end, and the goal difference speaks against the Leverkusen. In third place, the distance is now 12 points and so the Werkelf will complete the season in second place. The Leverkuseners are no longer represented in the cup competitions. The change decision around Xabi Alonso also ensures additional tensions. For the guests, it seems that organizational topics are currently greater than sporty issues.
16:54
For the Breisgauer, it’s still a lot. After yesterday’s victory in Borussia Dortmund, the Freiburgers slipped to fifth place. For the dream of the Champions League, Julian Schuster’s team has to get the maximum points outdoors in the coming three games. However, the trend speaks for the black and white. The SC Freiburg was able to win the last three games and so the next victory should still succeed today in order to move back to fourth place.
16:42
It is the 52nd meeting of these two teams. The statistics speak for the hosts. So the Werkself won 24 games, the Breisgauer won 13 games, while 14 encounters ended with a draw. The team of Xabi Alonso won the first leg 5: 1. At that time, Patrick Schick, who paved the way to victory with a pack of four, was a man of the game. Is there a revenge today?
16:30
Welcome to the 32nd matchday in the Bundesliga between SC Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen. The European Park Stadium kicks off at 5:30 p.m.
