Wolfsburg don’t want to slip into crisis
Wolfsburg is currently one of the teams in the Bundesliga that is under particular scrutiny. In the worst-case scenario, the Wolves are sliding into a serious crisis. They were knocked out of the DFB Cup during the week and are now set to respond
However, Freiburg seem to be making progress right now. The bookmakers’ Wolfsburg vs. Freiburg prediction shows the home side as favorites, but this is not very clear. The fact that the Wolves have a home game seems to be particularly important
The home side have been somewhat vulnerable recently, especially defensively. Based on the signs, our Wolfsburg vs Freiburg betting tip is that both teams will score.
Wolfsburg – Statistics & current form
At the beginning of the season, it looked as if VfL Wolfsburg could surprise a little this season. Jonas Wind was on target, the new signings seemed to make a good impression and the team worked well against the ball. Not much of that can be seen at the moment. Wolfsburg are shaky and must find a solution. Otherwise things will soon get tight for coach Niko Kovac, that is beyond question.
Especially after being knocked out of the DFB Cup away to Borussia Mönchengladbach during the week. This performance was once again relatively pedestrian. Wolfsburg did not manage to act in an offensively structured manner and at the same time maintain their defensive balance. It’s more of an either/or situation. The fact that they have only won one of their last seven games in the Bundesliga and have slipped into the desolation of mid-table also puts a slight damper on things. Wolfsburg are simply an absolutely average team at the moment.
If at all. Eleventh place and 16 points do not exactly indicate that Wolfsburg can be satisfied. The question is where Kovac will now start. Will he change the system? Or the approach? The Wolfsburg vs Freiburg odds show that the home side are definitely favored, but this is also due to the home advantage. Wolfsburg have scored an average of 2.17 points per game here, compared to less than one away from home
Wolfsburg concede too many goals
In recent weeks, part of the problem at Wolfsburg has been that the defense has conceded too many goals. The Wolves have not conceded a goal in seven Bundesliga games. This record can hardly be glossed over, the trend is clearly pointing downwards. It is sometimes individual mistakes, sometimes under pressure, sometimes after a resting ball, that cause Wolfsburg problems.
The good home record also has a lot to do with the games at the start of the season. Only one of the last three home games was won, that against their current favorite opponents, RB Leipzig. There will be chances against Freiburg, and these must be exploited to secure a good result. Because both teams are not always solid defensively, our prediction ahead of the Wolfsburg v Freiburg game is that both teams will score
Predicted Wolfsburg line-up:
Freiburg – Statistics & current form
Given the results of recent years, Freiburg’s season so far has been average at best. Measured against SCF’s general performance in the Bundesliga over a longer period of time, the Breisgauers are more than just on target. Freiburg went into the matchday in eighth place, with the biggest problem so far being their negative goal difference, which has somewhat spoiled the overall picture.
Otherwise, things are not looking too bad. Sportclub are in the knockout round of the Europa League and are in the top half of the table. There’s not that much that can go wrong. Offensively, however, the shoe is pinching a little, because apart from Grifo and Höler, no player has scored more than one goal in the league. However, they recently won away at Mainz, which could provide some momentum.
Freiburg have won two of their last two games, more than in the previous seven. And Christian Streich, coach of the visitors, also has a good record against the opposing coach, losing only once in eight games against a Kovac team. From a purely statistical point of view, the odds don’t look too bad for Sportclub
Freiburg still need to improve offensively
It’s clear that Freiburg are doing well in the table, but still need to improve offensively. The Breisgauers have scored 16 goals in the Bundesliga so far, which is not ideal. And it hasn’t been a case of bad luck either, but Freiburg simply haven’t created many chances. That should change and improve in the coming weeks if they are to take another step forward before the winter break.
The Wolfsburg vs Freiburg betting odds show that there could well be a few goals in this match. Although Freiburg have not been quite as prolific in terms of goals so far, Wolfsburg are offering so much at the moment. This is one of the reasons why our value tip ahead of the Wolfsburg v Freiburg game is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored
Predicted line-up of Freiburg:
Wolfsburg – Freiburg head-to-head comparison / H2H result

Wolfsburg – Freiburg betting tip
Wolfsburg want to work Freiburg from the start and try to play direct balls to set up the agile wind. But the form curve is clearly pointing downwards, the last few weeks have not gone according to plan and Freiburg are slightly on the up
Because of the omens, our prediction before the game between Wolfsburg and Freiburg is that both teams will score.
