Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full Time Result – Freiburg to Win – 2.15

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Freiburg to Score Over 1.5 Goals

Freiburg to Win

Freiburg are hard to knock at home. They’re defensively sound, while they know how to get the job done. The same can’t really be said for Wolfsburg on the road. The hosts average a pleasing 1.83 points at home, while the visitors average 1.17 away from home, and an average expected goals difference of -0.26 pales into insignificance when put next to Freiburg’s average expected goal difference at home, which currently stands at +0.57. Throw in the visitors’ rather poor travelling record away against top-half teams and the home win is hard to steer clear of at the current odds.

Freiburg to Score Over 1.5 Goals

Wolfsburg have a habit of conceding goals when facing top-half teams on the road, conceding two or more in five out of six against teams that currently reside in the top half.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Freiburg vs Wolfsburg

Christian Streich’s men were agonisingly close to a huge away-day victory last weekend, leading RB Leipzig until the 90th minute, only to be pegged back thanks to the left foot of Angelino. Although not seeing it through will have disappointed the Freiburg boss, the performance of his team will have him thinking that a push for that fourth spot is very much on the cards.

Saturday’s hosts are now unbeaten in four matches and after what was a minor wobble around late January/early February, are once again looking like a side that is very tough to beat. On their own patch, The Freiburg boys are without a loss in five, three of which they’ve won, which bodes well ahead of a match against visitors who’re anything but prolific winners on the road.

The visitors also arrive at this junction having picked up some positive results of late. Having had victory snatched from them late in the day at Borussia Park a fortnight ago, they stuck to their task last time out and got the job done, beating a useful Union Berlin side by a goal to nil. Such a result should see Florian Kohfeldt’s men go to Europa-Park Stadion feeling confident.

Something that might play on the mind of the visitors ahead of this fixture is their recent away record, which doesn’t exactly make for pleasurable reading. Winning only once on the road since the end of October 2021, Wolfsburg have picked up just five points from their last seven travelling fixtures, four of which they’ve lost.

Quick Rich

Something with a little extra juice in the price is ‘Lucas Holer to Score Anytime’. The forward now has five goals to his name in the league, one of which came in his last appearance at home. Moreover, he’s averaging a tidy 0.27 expected goals per 90 minutes, while he’s also enjoying his best campaign since the 2018-19 season in terms of shots per game.

Freiburg vs Wolfsburg Team News

Yannik Keitel remains out for Freiburg, though the hosts have an otherwise clean bill of health. Wolfsburg will still be without the services of Paulo Otavio and Mickey van de Ven.

Starting Line-ups

Freiburg: Flekken, Gulde, Lienhart, Schlotterbeck, Eggestein, Kubler, Haberer, Grifo, Gunter, Holer, Petersen.

Wolfsburg: Casteels, Mbabu, Bornauw, Brooks, Roussillon, Baku, Kruse, Arnold, Schlager, Bialek, Older Wind.

Highlighted Player

Vincenzo Grifo

Italian playmaker Vinceno Grifo has been central to Freiburg’s success this season, chipping in with six goals and five assists. Averaging 0.59 expected goals and assists combined, the 28-year-old should have a big part to play on Saturday.
