Bundesliga: Wolfsburg vs Freiburg Odds and Betting Preview

WOLFSBURG, GERMANY - 10th-placed Wolfsburg host bottom placed Freiburg on Friday evening in the Bundesliga, live on ESPN. Wolfsburg are unsurprisingly favourites, priced at best odds of 3/4 (bet £4 to win £3) with Bet Victor, while Freiburg are priced at 4/1 to win the game with most bookies, such as Ladbrokes, Stan James and Bet Victor. Punters can get on the draw at 14/5, only with Bet Victor again. 

Wolfsburg have a fairly strong home record, having won 6 of their 10 home games this season, drawing two and losing two as well. Despite their relatively healthy position of 10th, they are at the upper end of a group of teams all fighting to avoid relegation, with the team themselves only six points off the drop. This is a must-win game for Wolfsburg if they want to climb up the table.

Freiburg may be rooted to the bottom of the table but they are only three points from safety, and can move above Augsburg and Kaiserslauten with a win here. They would undoubtedly take a point however, and it is evens with most firms that Freiburg win with a (+1) goal handicap. Coral and Boylesports are offering that price in the market, as well as 1/3 and 2/5 respectively that Freiburg win with a (+2) goal handicap. 

Wolfsburg haven't scored many goals at home this season, with only one of their six home wins seeing them score more than two goals. They are 15/8 to win with a (-1) goal handicap however, with Blue Square, and 9/2 with Betfred to win with a three goal margin or more.

Freiburg's away form isn't bad - the 12th in the division, having beaten Nuremberg back in November, 2-1. Another 2-1 away win is 14/1 with Betfred and Bet365 while Freiburg are 14/1 with Stan James to sneak a 1-0 win. The 0-0 draw is 14/1 with Boylesports, amongst other firms, while you can get 7/1 on the 1-1 draw with Coral and Blue Square.

Wolfsburg have won five home games by one goal margins and it is 15/2 with William Hill for a 1-0 home win, while 2-1 to the ome side is 7/1 with nearly all firms. 2-0 to Wolfsburg is 8/1 with Bet365 while 3-0 is 12/1 with Betfred and Bet365.

There have been quite a few goals when Freiburg have played away, an average of 4.33 goals per game, which is clearly quite irregular given a season average of around 2.7 for most leagues. With 78% of games featuring Freiburg in the away dressing room going over 2.5 goals, you can get 7/10 with Stan James for there to be over 2.5 goals this evening. Over 3.5 goals is priced at 13/8 with Bodog.

Wolfsburg are 9/5 with Blue Square to be winning at half-time and full-time, while Freiburg are 9/1 with Blue Square to be winning at both intervals. Draw/Wolfsburg is 4/1 in the same half-time/full-time market, this time with Coral, while Draw/Draw is best at 6/1, only with Bet Victor.

A Wolfsburg clean sheet is priced at 7/4 with Paddy Power, which may be worth looking into given they have kept clean sheets in 40% of their home games this season. A Freiburg clean sheet is way back at 11/2 with Bet Victor.

The match kicks off at 1945 GMT and is live on ESPN
