Freiburg vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 17/05/2023, 21:40  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 18/05/2023 at 02:11 in Bundesliga Predictions

Freiburg have a home game against Wolfsburg on Friday, in which they will hope to bounce back after two straight losses. While Wolfsburg rose to sixth with a win last time, Freiburg dropped to fifth and risk missing the Champions League mark. Freiburg aren't in danger of dropping further, but need points to sustain their Champions League chase. They are three points off the top four with two games to go, and can't afford to drop more points. It was particularly tough for them losing against a direct competitor in Union Berlin in their last game. That 4-2 away loss marked the third straight defeat for Freiburg. The first in that run was a German Cup game against Leipzig, who also followed up with a win in their league encounter. Losing two straight against fellow top four contenders is sure to dent Freiburg's confidence. The number of goals conceded in the process makes it tougher; they have let in 10 goals in the last three games. Freiburg have lost three times in the last four matches at home as well.

Wolfsburg can't finish above Freiburg in the Bundesliga. They are more concerned about the congested race for the top six and to stay clear, a win here will be necessary. The visitors come into this game with a good run – three wins in the last four matches. They have scored two or more goals in three of the four wins, and have two clean sheets in five matches. In their last game, they recovered from their 6-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund by beating Hoffenheim 2-1. That outcome means each of their last four matches has had over 2.5 goals. They've lost just two in the last 10 matches. Two of their last three away matches ended in defeats but Wolfsburg have won three of five on the road. The last time they met Freiburg, Wolfsburg won 6-0 and they will be targeting another win here.
