This round of Bundesliga mainly brings duels that directly decide on the fight for survival and this is certainly one of them. Freiburg is not one of the most vulnerable teams, but they could be if they lose this match, as they only have four points more than Wolfsburg, which is the division of the position that lead in the playoffs. Both teams are in bad shape and Freiburg has five matches without a win, while Wolfsburg is even weaker and they have not defeated anyone for eight rounds. In the first part of the season Wolfsburg was better with 3-1
For the most part of the season it seemed that Freiburg would not come into trouble when it comes to survival, but they are playing a bit weaker recently and now the situation is not so worrying. It may still be when it comes to a direct defeat, given that they have ten points more than their previous position on the table, however, the additional playoffs is always very risky, and that position is only four points below and Wolfsburg is sharing it with Mainz, while it is important to say that Freiburg is in the next rounds playing with rivals that are below them on the table.
After a solid guest draw with Hertha, they were defeated in the previous two rounds and a particularly painful was a home defeat by Stutgart, and the one by Schalke away was expected. Coach Streich has made a series of changes in the starting lineup after Stuttgart, and now he has to find a substitute for Petersen who is excluded in Gelsenkirchen and has no right to perform.
Probable lineups SC Freiburg: Schwolow – P.Koch, Gulde, Soyuncu – P.Stenzel, C.Gunter – Sierro, Hofler – Haberer, Kath – Kleindienst
Wolfsburg has an even wider series without wins than their host and they can even be happy to have a situation in which they are above the relegation zone, even if only because of the goal difference. The “Wolves” want at all costs to avoid the position that leads to the playoffs, but will really have to start winning in the finals of the season. In the last round they have played a draw with three defeats, and that was with Hertha, which can also be called a solid achievement. The match was pretty bad and a goalless draw is the most realistic outcome.
It was the third consecutive match in which they did not score, after a defeat with Hoffenheim with 3-0 and the unhappy home defeat by Schalke with 1-0, when they first missed the penalty and received a goal in the finish. After this defeat, coach Labbadia has made two changes and Bazoer and Didavi remained on the bench, while Camacho and Osimhen were on the field after their recovery. Now Guilavogui will not be in the team due to suspension, while Didavi returns, Uduokhai will be on the center-back, and Steffen in midfield.
Probable lineups VfL Wolfsburg: Casteels – Verhaegh, Uduokhai, Knoche, William – Camacho – Didavi, Arnold – Steffen, Brekalo – Dimata
Freiburg has recently played very well at home and they were not losing matches easily, so we believe that they can return to these good performances in front of their supporters, at least to the extent that they will not lose from Wolfsburg, which is in bad shape and is having a very difficult time to win.
