Freiburg vs Wolfsburg Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

Freiburg have endured a painful fortnight with a semi-final exit of the DFB Pokal preceding a pair of decisive league losses against Champions League qualification rivals Union and  RB Leipzig.

Now fifth in the division and three points behind Union and four short of RB, Freiburg´s surprising push for Champions League qualification looks likely to come up short; however, fifth place, and with it, Europa League qualification, has been assured with the home side seven points clear of visiting Wolfsburg who sit sixth in the division with just two games remaining in the season. 

Up and down at home, Freiburg comes into this contest having won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six league matches at Europa Park. Visiting Wolfsburg have enjoyed a strong second half of the season, particularly on their travels. Having won just one of their first six on the road, have since won six of their last ten away Bundesliga games. However, the Wolves were blown away in their most recent outing - a 6:0 humbling at title-chasing Dortmund.

A tough fixture to call, with Wolfsburg blowing hot and cold away from home and Freiburg in the midst of a three-match losing streak, while neither time has exhibited consistency in the goal markets, particularly in recent weeks. Freiburg have seen BTTS in just three of their last six at home, while Wolfsburg have seen the same outcome in only one of their last five away from home. 

Furthermore, the over/under 2.5 goal stats are not particularly revelatory, with Freibug´s last six at home seeing three goals or more on two occasions. Wolfsburg also saw the same outcome in two of their last six away from home.

With the numbers failing to crunch, we turn to the h2h record for a little direction in this tricky lo9oking contest. Unfortunately, the last six meetings have yielded two wins apiece and two draws. 

Considering all of that, we´re sitting on the fence and calling this one a draw, with the over/under line probably falling below three goals. Still, small stakes should be considered for this Bundesliga top-six contest.
