As Saturday's Bundesliga clash approaches, the VOLKSWAGEN ARENA gears up to host an intriguing match between VfL Wolfsburg and SC Freiburg, scheduled for December 9th. This fixture presents fans with an opportunity to witness two teams in the middle of the table battling for crucial points as the season progresses.
Match analysis
VfL Wolfsburg has experienced a season with mixed results, as reflected in their current 11th place standing. Their form curve shows inconsistency, and recent matches haven't bolstered much confidence. A concerning stat for the Wolves is their defense, conceding 13 goals in their last ten games, while scoring 10. Their attacking output is not one to overlook though, as they have managed to find the net in 6 out of the recent 10 matches, hinting at their capability to trouble the scorekeepers.
SC Freiburg, on the other side, sits slightly higher at 8th place and presents a more stable form sheet. The team has scattered wins and draws across their last ten outings, with their forward line showing potency by scoring a commendable total of 19 goals in these matches. The defense seems relatively more solid than their opponents, conceding 11 goals in the same period, indicating better control at the back.
Recent form
VfL Wolfsburg's recent form hasn’t been particularly inspiring, with just two wins out of their last ten matches across all competitions. An alarming 40% loss rate in these recent games underscores the struggles they might face in this fixture. The fact that they've secured a mere six points from a possible 30 in the Bundesliga shines a light on the pressing need for improvement.
SC Freiburg's recent form has been a mixed bag with a win rate of 30%, but they've managed to avoid defeat in 50% of their last ten matches. Their ability to score goals is notable, with an impressive five goals against Olympiakos in the Europa League highlighting their potential on the offensive front.
