Freiburg take on the visitors Wolfsburg in the round 32 match of German Bundesliga.The match will be played on Friday, May 19th at Europa-Park Stadium (Freuburg).
Two rounds before the end of the championship, Freiburg still have a chance to qualify for the Champions League zone. Currently, they are fifth in the table, but they are only three points behind Union Berlin. Granted, Freiburg's remaining opponents will be tougher than those of the Berlin team. However, it's unlikely that the "Brazilian team from Breisgau," as they are nicknamed, will give up. They will undoubtedly fight and play for victories in these matches. And to achieve victories, goals are necessary. I believe that at least once, Freiburg will breach the defense of Wolfsburg. In the last five Bundesliga matches, Freiburg defeated Cologne, Schalke, and Werder Bremen. They then lost to Leipzig (0-1) and Union Berlin (4-2). However, as you can see, the team was only unable to upset "the Bulls."

In terms of defensive reliability, Wolfsburg's defense noticeably lags behind that of Leipzig. This was clearly demonstrated in Dortmund when Nico Kovac's team conceded six unanswered goals against the local "bees." Overall, in the last four matches, Wolfsburg managed to keep a clean sheet only once, in a home match against Mainz. The team defeated Bochum and Hoffenheim but still conceded a goal in each match: 5-1 and 2-1, respectively. I believe that Wolfsburg will not keep a clean sheet in Freiburg either but they must score their own goal. After all, even the qualification for the UEFA Champions League for the next season is not guaranteed for Kovac's team. The prospect of at least participating in the UEFA Europa League seems more enticing.
So, what do we have in the end? Two teams, both motivated for the remaining matches of the season. Both know how to score goals – the hosts have scored 48 goals in 32 matches, and the visitors have scored an impressive 56 goals. However, it cannot be said that the defense of either team is very reliable. On average, Freiburg and Wolfsburg concede more than one goal per game (42 and 44, respectively). It's about time that these teams showcase an entertaining football match when facing each other. By the way, in their last encounter on Freiburg's field, they exchanged goals without difficulty, and the hosts won 3-2. My choice for this match is Both Teams to Score!
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
