Freiburg vs Wolfsburg Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 28 October 2026
🔉 Freiburg come into this DFB-Pokal tie having lost three matches in a row across all competitions. Not long ago Julian Schuster's side had gone nine matches unbeaten, but the level of opposition has risen and the defence has started to crack. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, are unbeaten in four matches in the 2. Bundesliga, have scored 23 goals in nine league rounds, and travel to Freiburg without any pressure: the cup is not a priority for the Wolves, but it is a chance for a release.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two sides have met 39 times in total, with Freiburg holding a slight edge in wins at 17-14. Their head-to-head meetings are rarely short on goals - the average is 3 goals per match. At home, Freiburg have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 meetings, though they generally come out on top more often: nine wins from 18 home meetings, with five defeats and four draws.
Head-to-head statistics Freiburg - Wolfsburg
Freiburg: Slump Follows Strong Start
Freiburg's recent matches suggest a team that has lost the ability to keep their goal intact. They have conceded two or more goals in five of their last six matches - a systematic defensive breakdown. The attack continues to create chances, though: in the first round of the Cup, Freiburg thrashed Fortuna 5-1 away from home. Schuster made five changes for the Bayern match relative to the Monaco game, which signals that rotation in the Cup is inevitable.
At home, Freiburg traditionally take the initiative, but against Wolfsburg that could open up space for counter-attacks. The Wolves have been bold and productive on the road: they have scored ten goals in their last four away league matches. Schuster will need to find a balance between the need to make amends for a run of defeats and the risk of leaving themselves exposed at the back.
Match Results: Freiburg
Wolfsburg deliver in attack, but their defense continues to struggle.
Wolfsburg come into this match in decent shape: four games unbeaten in the 2. Bundesliga, with a draw against Bochum (1-1) in the last round. They sit fourth, two points off second place, and have the most prolific attack in the division - 23 goals scored in nine matchdays. In three of their previous four league matches, the Wolves scored at least three times. Their defence has been less reliable, though: they have conceded in eight consecutive matches and are giving up an average of 1.6 goals per game.
Away trips to Freiburg have historically been difficult for Wolfsburg: just one win in the last eight years, though they have avoided defeat in half of those meetings. For Tobias Strobl's side, this is a chance to end that unwelcome run and show that their current form is no fluke.

Latest news
Freiburg
Freiburg have injury problems in midfield. Osterhage picked up an injury in the match against Bayern and will definitely miss this game - he is the second player in that position to be ruled out, following Engelhardt. Beste has been experiencing neck discomfort since the Bayern match and his participation is in doubt. Muslija and Ogbus are also unavailable.
Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg's injury list has grown with the addition of Vini Sousa: the Brazilian picked up a knock against Bochum and his participation is in doubt. Also unavailable are Rogério (defensive flank), Hornby (attack), Svanberg (midfield, out until mid-November), Hensel and Benedikt.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Matches at Freiburg's ground tend to be on the rougher side. At least four bookings were shown in 3 of their last 4 head-to-head meetings. The cup format and the cost of mistakes add extra edge to the contest, and Wolfsburg away from home are forced into a lot of fouling against Freiburg's quick attacks. The main bet is Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Wolfsburg have scored in 10 of their last 11 away matches across all competitions. Freiburg have conceded at home in 9 of their last 10 matches, and across all competitions in 20 of their last 22. The hosts' defence has long since stopped being reliable, while the Wolves' attack is the most prolific in the 2. Bundesliga. We're backing Wolfsburg to Score at 1.47.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Freiburg have won no more than seven corners in 9 of their last 10 matches and in 21 consecutive home games. The hosts prefer positional attacks through the centre, rarely generating a high number of set pieces. We're backing Freiburg Team Total Corners - Under 7.5 at 1.70*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Freiburg are in a rough patch: three defeats in a row, problems in midfield and rotation due to a congested schedule. Wolfsburg have gone four matches without a loss, are scoring freely and travel to Freiburg without any pressure - the Cup is not a priority for the Wolves, but it is exactly in matches like this that upsets happen. The head-to-head record favours the hosts, but current form points the other way. Freiburg's defence does not inspire confidence, and Wolfsburg's attack is capable of punishing any mistake. Wolfsburg not to lose is the main selection, even though Freiburg are the higher-quality side. Predicted score: 1-2.
