The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Freiburg
In the previous Bundesliga round, the team drew with Hoffenheim (1-1). The club has won only once in the last six league matches (3 draws, 2 losses). In the standings, Freiburg is in 7th place, trailing their closest competitor – Borussia Dortmund – only on 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 matches in the German championship (4 wins, 2 draws).
- Both teams scored in 13 of Freiburg's last 15 Bundesliga matches at the Europa-Park.
- The team has not conceded more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 home league matches.
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 German championship, a streak the club hasn't seen since January 2023. Positive results in recent Bundesliga matches have lifted the team to 5th place in the standings, with the gap to the nearest club in the Champions League zone now just 3 points.
- 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 matches 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 at home in the 2024/25 Bundesliga – Julian Schuster's side has scored 11 goals in 6 games at the Europa-Park. Defensively, however, the team has its weaknesses – having conceded 7 goals in the same 6 home matches. Consequently, in 5 of their last 6 home games in this tournament, opponents have scored at least three times. Notably, these include matches against last season's Bundesliga runner-up Stuttgart (3-1) and a strong Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-1).
Ralph Hasenhüttl's side also doesn't shy away from attacking in away matches – Wolfsburg's away games in the championship average 3.8 goals per match. Their away matches in the 2024/25 Bundesliga featured goal fests even against last season's champion Bayer Leverkusen (3-4) and a team with one of the best defenses in the tournament, Leipzig (5-1).
Given the scoring prowess of both teams, I expect the upcoming match to delight fans with plenty of goals. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
