SC Freiburg vs Wolfsburg Predictions

• Freiburg have won seven of eight home meetings with the bottom nine
• That includes four 2-1 wins at home to the bottom five
• Second-bottom Wolfsburg have lost 13 of 16 clashes with teams in the top half

Freiburg can juggle big week

Freiburg will likely have one eye on their return clash with Braga this week, but they should still prove too strong for a Wolfsburg side facing relegation.

The visitors are second-from-bottom in the Bundesliga, having lost 18 of 31 matches this term. They’ve suffered 13 defeats from 16 clashes with teams in the top half, while Freiburg have claimed seven wins from eight clashes with the bottom nine.

That impressive return for the hosts includes four 2-1 victories at home to the bottom five, with half of their Bundesliga wins this term coming by that scoreline. Wolfsburg have scored 20 times in 15 trips, so they can contribute to the scoring, but they’ve shipped a massive 35 goals in return.

Freiburg have won three of their last five league games, dropping the other two against Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, and they were able to take maximum points against Mainz in between their last Europa League double-header.

The hosts are in the fight for seventh, which would likely guarantee European football, so they still have plenty to play for domestically. That added motivation should see them return to winning ways before aiming to overturn Thursday’s 2-1 defeat in Portugal.
