The Bundesliga Round 15 match between Wolfsburg and Freiburg will take place on December 20 at the Volkswagen Arena. Wolfsburg vs. Freiburg: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Wolfsburg
In the last round Daniel Bauer's side beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 away. That result gave Wolfsburg back-to-back wins for the first time this Bundesliga campaign. However, the club has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six league matches. Wolfsburg have 15 points and sit 13th in the table. Notably, they are second-last for points earned at home this season (5).
- The club has not won in 14 of their last 15 home league matches (7 draws, 7 defeats).
- Both teams scored in 6 of the last 8 previous home league games for Wolfsburg.
- At least three goals were scored in 6 of Wolfsburg's last 8 home league matches.
Predicted Wolfsburg lineup (4-3-3)*
Kamil Grabara – Jenson Seelt, Kostas Koulierakis, Saël Kumbedi, Patrick Wimmer – Lovro Majer, Maximilian Arnold, Christian Eriksen – Aaron Center, Mohamed Amoura, Yannick Gerhardt.
Defender Joachim Mele, midfielder Kevin Paredes and forward Jonas Wind will miss the game through injury. In addition, the club's top Bundesliga scorer Mohamed Amoura has gone to the Africa Cup of Nations.
Freiburg
In the last round Julian Schuster's side were held 1-1 at home by Borussia Dortmund. As a result, Freiburg have failed to win in 8 of their last 10 Bundesliga matches (5 draws, 3 defeats), although their scoring run in the league has been extended to five games. The club have 17 points and occupy ninth place in the table.
- The team has not won in 6 of their last 7 away league matches (2 draws, 4 defeats).
- The club scored more than once in only 2 of their last 7 away league matches.
- Freiburg failed to score in the second half in each of their last five away Bundesliga matches.

Wolfsburg vs Freiburg: Match Prediction
The hosts have shown progress in results since the managerial change, but they continue to make too many defensive errors – under Daniel Bauer the team have not kept a clean sheet in four Bundesliga matches. Overall, their home record is unconvincing: Wolfsburg have conceded in their last 13 home league games, and in six of those matches they conceded at least two goals.
Freiburg's away record is far from outstanding, yet they tend to score fairly regularly: in their previous 11 Bundesliga away matches the team were goalless only three times. It's also worth noting that Freiburg have scored against Wolfsburg in 7 of the last 9 league meetings at Wolfsburg's ground, registering at least two goals on three occasions.
I expect an attacking performance from Julian Schuster's side, so my prediction: Freiburg ITB 1
* For each team the starting XI listed is their lineup in their previous match in this competition.
