SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg won 3 of their last 5 Bundesliga matches, but lost 4-0 to Borussia Dortmund last week.
This game is important for them – SC Freiburg chases the 7th and last spot for Europe, currently occupied by Eintracht Frankfurt. That means SC Freiburg will surely give their all in their remaining three games against Wolfsburg, Hamburger SV and RB Leipzig.
Still, they also have Europa League obligations against SC Braga, against whom they narrowly lost 2-1 last midweek. Their rematch is next week, and perhaps that might affect the squad selection a bit for this match.
SC Freiburg have an excellent recent record against Wolfsburg, beating them in 7 of the last 9 duels, making them an ideal team to face in their hunt for the final spot for European football next season.
Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg have a monumental task ahead. First SC Freiburg, then Bayern Munich, and a match against St.Pauli in the season finale.
It doesn’t look good, but if they get to play two relegation playoff matches, then the chance of playing in the Bundesliga next season still exists.
Wolfsburg’s goalless draw against Borussia Monchengladbach last week was their first game to keep a clean sheet after previously conceding in 22 straight matches.
Another bright fact is that, despite being second from the bottom, they still hold destiny in their own hands.
It's clear – two wins from three matches would guarantee them at least relegation playoff games against the third team from 2.Bundesliga. Anything other than two wins from three games means relegation.
The Betting Verdict
Both sides are motivated and chasing targets – SC Freiburg wants that last European place, and Wolfsburg wants to avoid dropping out to 2.Bundesliga.
Even though this is a season where they overall underperformed domestically, SC Freiburg are still a great, stable side with European quality. They are one of the top home sides in the Bundesliga (unbeaten in 12 of 15 games), and I believe they would again dominate against Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg has just lost too many chances so far. They sneakily avoided relegation just barely in the last few seasons, and perhaps this is the season when they should drop out finally.
Nothing against Wolfsburg, but they simply made too many mistakes in bringing questionable players, coaches, and other internal problems. Even if they stay in the Bundesliga, they won’t get any better soon.
To cut to the chase, back SC Freiburg to win this game at excellent odds.
