Bayer Leverkusen
Manager Dutt could field a 4-2-3-1 system again, with Stefan Kießling playing much of the game up front on his own. Vedran Corluka is still injured and could be replaced by Gonzalo Castro this time. Simon Rolfes could replace the injured Lars Bender in defensive midfield.
probable lineups : Leno, Kadlec, Toprak, Friedrich, Castro, Rolfes, Reinartz, Schürrle, Kießling, Augusto, Derdiyok. (4-2-3-1).

Freiburg
Manager Streich could field a 4-4-1-1 again, with Karim Guede starting
behind Sebastian Freis, although he has several other options up front. Plenty of defensive injuries will force Freiburg to field an inexperienced back line once again. Johannes Flum is still injured and could be replaced by Julian Schuster again.
probable lineups : Baumann, Mujdza, Fallou, Ginter, Sorg, Schmid, Schuster, Makiadi, Caligiuri, Guede, Freis. (4-4-1-1).

Prediction
After three losses in a row, the pressure is back on Leverkusen. Manager
Dutt desperately needs a result at home now, but the team has to
improve massively in many areas to reach that goal.
Freiburg have not lost in their last four games (three wins) and have
significantly improved their position in the relegation battle since the
winter break. They have a real chance of staying up again.
Expect this to be a close game. The home team should be slight favourites, but they are not in the best of form at the moment.
Bayer Leverkusen 1 - 1 Freiburg
