Recent form: Freiburg look solid, Wolfsburg harder to read

Freiburg have looked solid in October. We could confirm a 2-1 home win over Schalke 04 on 11 October and a 3-2 win against Jablonec in the Conference League on 15 October. We could not verify five reliable results for each side, so we are not going to invent a run. At one point early in the season, Freiburg topped the Bundesliga table with 13 points from five games.

Wolfsburg are currently in the 2. Bundesliga, which makes this a clash between divisions. We could not confirm their recent results, so our assessment of them is general. A lower-tier side visiting a Bundesliga club usually plays with urgency and looks to hit on the counter.

Head to head: a balanced rivalry with goals

The head-to-head record is very mixed, and the counts vary depending on the source. In the five most recent meetings we could confirm, the results were a 1-1 draw in May 2026, a 4-3 Freiburg win at Wolfsburg in December 2025, a 1-0 Freiburg win at Wolfsburg in April 2025, a 3-2 Freiburg win in December 2024, and a 2-1 Wolfsburg win at Freiburg in April 2024.

Both teams scored in four of those five games. It is a simple statistic, but a useful one: these meetings rarely end up as tight, goalless affairs.

Injuries: what we know so far

Freiburg are without Florent Muslija, who is out with a cruciate ligament rupture, while Patrick Osterhage is dealing with muscle problems and has no fixed return date. Wolfsburg have Rogério, Mattias Svanberg, Aster Vranckx and Fraser Hornby listed as injured, and Christian Eriksen is unavailable due to heart problems. Team sheets change quickly, so check the starting XIs before kick-off.

What to expect and why we pick both halves to have goals

Our selection is Goals in Both Halves at odds of 1.39. This bet needs goals in the first half and in the second half, not just a particular final score. In a cup tie between sides with different styles, it is common to see a lively first half, a break for adjustments and an open second half, especially when neither team gains a big lead early.

Freiburg have attacking quality and are playing at home, while Wolfsburg, despite the drop in division, can exploit space. If one side scores early, the other will have every reason to respond. That balance is what supports our read of the game.

Our prediction

Our pick: Goals in Both Halves @ 1.39. We prefer an open game with goals at different stages to a tight final score. Odds are for reference only and can move before kick-off. Bet responsibly, and remember there are no guarantees of profit.
