Freiburg
In the last Bundesliga round, the team drew with Hoffenheim (1-1). The club has won only once in their previous six league matches (3 draws, 2 losses). In the standings, Freiburg is in 7th place, trailing closest rival Borussia Dortmund only by goal difference. Notably, the team has an equal number of goals scored and conceded – 17:17.
- The club has not lost in 6 of their last 7 home Bundesliga matches (4 wins, 2 draws).
- Both teams scored in 13 of Freiburg's last 15 Bundesliga matches at Europa-Park.
- The team has not conceded more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 home league games.
Wolfsburg
Jonas Wind's last-minute goal against Mainz secured another 3 points for Ralph Hasenhüttl's side (4-3). This victory marked Wolfsburg's fourth consecutive win in the Bundesliga, a streak they haven't achieved since January 2023. Positive results in recent Bundesliga matches have lifted the team to 5th place in the standings, with only a 3-point gap from the nearest club in the Champions League zone.
- The team has scored at least two goals in 5 of their last 6 away league matches.
- Both teams scored in 4 of Wolfsburg's last 5 away games in this tournament.
- The team scored first in 5 of their last 6 away Bundesliga matches.
Freiburg vs. Wolfsburg: Match Prediction
Freiburg plays attacking football in their home Bundesliga 2024/25 matches – at Europa-Park, Julian Schuster's side has scored 11 goals in 6 games. Defensively, however, the team has its weaknesses – in the same 6 home matches, Freiburg has conceded 7 goals. As a result, opponents have scored at least three times in 5 of the club's last 6 home matches in this tournament. During this period, matches against Bundesliga 2023/24 runners-up Stuttgart (3-1) and strong Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-1) were high-scoring.
Ralph Hasenhüttl's side also doesn't sit back in away matches – Wolfsburg's away games in the league average 3.8 goals per match. In their Bundesliga 2024/25 away matches, there was a goal fest even against last season's champion Bayer (3-4), as well as against a team with one of the best defenses in the tournament, Leipzig (5-1).
Given the scoring prowess of the opponents, I believe the upcoming match will delight fans with plenty of goals. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
