🗞️ Team News: Freiburg

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Freiburg gaffer Christian Streich to be concerned about due to a largely intact group. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) misses out.

In all likelihood, Freiburg look set to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one featuring Mark Flekken, Lukas Kuebler, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Christian Guenter, Maximilian Eggestein, Nicolas Hoefler, Ritsu Doan, Lucas Hoeler, Vincenzo Grifo and Michael Gregoritsch.

📰 Team News: VfL Wolfsburg

VfL Wolfsburg manager Niko Kovač has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Paulo Otávio (Ankle Injury), Lukas Nmecha (Knee Problems) and Maxence Lacroix (Shoulder Injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe Wolfsburg will likely make use of a 3-5-2 formation by sending out Koen Casteels, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Josuha Guilavogui, Micky van de Ven, Ridle Baku, Felix Nmecha, Maximilian Arnold, Mattias Svanberg, Jakub Kaminski, Patrick Wimmer and Jonas Wind.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that VfL Wolfsburg will likely be able to put one past this Freiburg lineup, although that might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We can see both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Freiburg at the end of the 90 minutes. Should be an interesting one.
