The red hot Wolfsburg will take on Freiburg at Volkswagen Arena after yet another impressive European performance.
Wolfsburg came from behind on Thursday to defeat Inter 3-1, putting on another brilliant offensive display. The hosts have little left to play for in the Bundesliga, they will almost certainly finish second, but that`s not stopping them to play excellent football week in week out. They did lose last round at Augsburg, a surprising 1-0, but they were on the back of 4 consecutive wins and are expected to return to winning ways today against Freiburg.
The visitors are on the 17th place and are fighting for their life in Bundesliga, but with little success – Freiburg has just 1 point in the last three matches and is on the back of two 1-0 losses against Leverkusen and Werder Bremen. As far as I`m concerned Freiburg is better than the place they are on, but not by much. I do see them avoiding relegation, but barely. They really need to step it up offensively and start banging in some goals, as the last two matches were horrible in that department.

Wolfsburg is between the two legs in Europa League and will play a key match next Thursday in Milano, but despite this they will not use rotation today. Coach Dieter Hecking will field his best lineup according to team news reports and wants to bounce back with a solid win after that Augsburg loss – Wolfsburg can`t afford going to Milano with a broken down morale. Freiburg doesn`t look likely to score considering their dreadful offense and Wolfsburg with its all out attacking football is more than able to bang in at least two goals. My tip is Wolfsburg to win with a 1 goal asian handicap. Not the highest odds, but fair and clearly playable. Prediction: Wolfsburg – Freiburg 2-0.
