Freiburg started the 2019/20 Bundesliga campaign in fine fashion. However, in recent weeks their form has dipped. Christian Streich’s team will be looking to return to top form on Saturday afternoon when they host Wolfsburg at the Schwarzwald-Stadion.
Despite their form dipping of late, Freiburg are still sixth place in the Bundesliga table and just two points outside of the Champions League spots in the German top-flight.
A 4-2 defeat at league leaders Monchengladbach last time out ended a four-game unbeaten run for the home side in the Bundesliga. The defeat was certainly nothing to be ashamed of because the leaders are enjoying a stellar campaign.
Freiburg’s recent Bundesliga outings have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight matches in the German top-flight.
Streich’s team head into this potentially tricky clash on the back of a four-match unbeaten run in the German top-flight, having won their last two home games against RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Wolfsburg are certainly not one of Freiburg’s favoured opposition, as the home side have beaten the Wolves in just two of their last 12 Bundesliga meetings
The visitors are just two points behind Freiburg in a congested section of the Bundesliga table. However, the Wolves head into this game in poor recent league form in the German top-flight.
In fact, Wolfsburg have won just once in their last six matches in the German top-flight, losing three of their last four games in the process. Defensive problems have been at the heart of their recent poor run of form in the Bundesliga, as they have conceded at least twice in three of their last four league outings.

The Wolves have an inconsistent recent away record in the Bundesliga but have been hard to beat on their travels, losing just one of their last six outings on the road in the German top-flight.
Neither side head into this game in great form, so it will come as little surprise that Forebet predicts that this clash will finish in a low-scoring draw.
