After three straight games on the road, Freiburg return to the Europa-Park-Stadion on Sunday for the visit of Wolfsburg in the 32nd round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. The stakes are stark for both teams ahead of this one, as a defeat for the hosts could do serious damage to their push for the final European qualification spot, while a loss for the visitors could see automatic safety slip out of reach.
Freiburg have suffered a slump at the wrong time in the season, crashing out of the DFB-Pokal, slipping out of the continental places in the Bundesliga table, and suffering a first-leg deficit in the UEFA Europa League semifinals, all within the past week.
Thanks for the submission!
Fresh off a 4-0 hiding at the hands of Borussia Dortmund last time out in the league, the Breisgau-Brasilianer travelled to Portugal on Thursday to face Sporting Braga in the UEL, where a 92nd-minute strike condemned the German outfit to a 2-1 defeat.
Morale is at an all-time low for Julian Schuster’s men, although they have no time to feel sorry for themselves if they are to make this season a success, as the Conference League qualification spot in the Bundesliga remains up for grabs, while their one-goal deficit on the continental stage is still easily recoverable.
Wolfsburg’s steady decline over the past couple of years looks to be coming to a head, as the 2008-09 Bundesliga champions are currently headed for the second tier unless they find some inspiration in their final three games of the season.
A 2-1 win over Union Berlin and a goalless draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach in their last two games have seen Die Wölfe hold on to 17th place, although bottom-placed Heidenheim have also enjoyed a mini resurgence of their own, setting up what could be an exciting finish to the season.
Freiburg vs Wolfsburg Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Freiburg’s dramatic 4-3 victory when these two teams met earlier this season saw them register their fifth win in their last six competitive games against Wolfsburg.
- Freiburg’s two home defeats of 2026 came in successive gameweeks in the Bundesliga when they lost 1-0 to Union Berlin and 3-2 to Bayern Munich.
- Wolfsburg hold the joint-worst defensive record in the division, having shipped 66 goals in just 31 games.
- Wolfsburg picked up their first clean sheet since October in their goalless draw with Gladbach last time out.
Freiburg vs Wolfsburg Prediction
Despite the Breisgau-Brasilianer‘s recent struggles, they remain slight favorites for this one and should only need to avoid complacency to take the win on Sunday, with Wolfsburg’s defensive frailties likely to play into Freiburg’s hands.
