Bundesliga
In the first half of the current season, Wolfsburg didn't give Freiburg any chance, winning 6-0. In the previous season, Freiburg emerged victorious in their two meetings against the "Wolves." In the last 9 head-to-head matches held at Freiburg's home ground, the following results were recorded: 5 wins for Wolfsburg, 2 draws, and only 2 victories for Freiburg.
Freiburg
Towards the end of the championship, Freiburg’s performance leaves much to be desired. The “Brazilians from Breisgau” suffered defeats in their last two matches. First, they lost to Leipzig (0-1), and then to Union Berlin (2-4). However, Christian Streich’s team still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League. Currently, they sit in fifth place, trailing the fourth spot by only three points. After 34 rounds, the hosts have accumulated 56 points. They are seven points ahead of their closest pursuer, so Freiburg will secure their fifth-place position regardless of other outcomes. The question remains whether they can climb higher.
Wolfsburg
Thanks to their victory over Hoffenheim (2-1) in the previous round, Wolfsburg stormed into the European competition zone and currently occupies sixth place in the Bundesliga standings. However, their position in the top six is not yet guaranteed. They are only ahead of Bayer Leverkusen on goal difference and hold a three-point lead over Eintracht Frankfurt. Therefore, they cannot afford to relax or drop points, even against a strong opponent like Freiburg, as it may jeopardize their chances of qualifying for European competitions next year. Wolfsburg has several injured players in the infirmary. Players such as Lacroix, Nmecha, and Paulo Otavio will be unable to help the “Wolves” in this round. However, Nico Kovac has a decent squad depth and won’t have trouble selecting the players to field.
Prediction
Even bookmakers find it difficult to choose a clear favorite in this matchup. The hosts have a slight advantage, but the chances of winning are fairly equal. It's worth noting that in three out of the last four matches, only one team managed to score. However, the current situation is different: both the hosts and the guests need points, so sitting back and defending would be foolish. To secure victory, they need to score goals, so we expect an open game with goals from both teams. Our prediction is both teams to score, with odds of 1.65 at 1xBet. In January of this year, Wolfsburg crushed Freiburg 6-0 at home. However, the "Wolves" have failed to win in four consecutive away matches. On May 19, they have a good chance to improve this statistic, as they are currently in excellent form, unlike Freiburg. Our prediction is a victory for Wolfsburg, with odds of 1.96. Place a bet with
