Wolfsburg vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips | January 21st 2023
Wolfsburg will host Freiburg at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday evening in another round of the German Bundesliga campaign.
The home side endured a difficult start to their league season but have managed to turn things around and are now pushing for Europe. They beat Hoffenheim 2-1 in their last league outing, coming from behind to overturn a first-half deficit via an own goal and a Ridle Baku winner.
Wolfsburg have picked up 23 points from 15 games this season and currently sit seventh in the Bundesliga standings. They will be looking to continue their good run of form and continue their push up the table.
Freiburg have enjoyed a brilliant campaign so far and will fancy themselves as title contenders as they head into the second half of the season. They carried out a 4-1 trouncing of Union Berlin in their last game, with Italy international Vincenzo Grifo scoring a hat-trick before Michael Gregoritsch wrapped up the points just before the interval.
