Pre-match analysis and preview

Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, Bayer 04 Leverkusen collected 10 points (3 wins, 1 draws and 1 losses). SC Freiburg earned 13 points from 5 matches (4 wins, 1 draws and 0 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

The database contains 5 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Post-match analysis

Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen and SC Freiburg drew 1–1. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.64 for Bayer 04 Leverkusen and 1.21 for SC Freiburg. Bayer 04 Leverkusen generated the higher xG total. Bayer 04 Leverkusen scored -0.64 goals relative to xG and SC Freiburg scored -0.21 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen registered 12 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 41.7%); SC Freiburg recorded 11 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 18.2%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (52.6%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
