Seventh-placed Freiburg are safe from relegation and targeting European football when they host struggling Wolfsburg in the league on Saturday. Wolfsburg need to get a better result than Cologne to be safe from automatic relegation. Freiburg will start this game five points behind sixth place. In their final four matches, they face sides without really good runs and will be targeting as many wins. They have by far easier opposition in the last four matches than the side above them. This holds good promise in their quest for European football. There’s a big chance there will be more than just six slots for European football spared for Bundesliga sides. Freiburg will want to gain theirs via a finish as high as possible and that can only be sixth spot. They aren’t on a great run coming into this game, though they are unbeaten in the last two. In their most recent outing, Freiburg drew 1-1 with Mainz, failing to capitalize on their early lead courtesy of Michael Gregoritsch’s goal. They come here without a win in six home matches in Bundesliga, losing three of them. Freiburg can however look at their scoring run at home with much positivity. They scored in each of the last seven home league matches, though failing to keep clean sheets in the seven matches.

Wolfsburg come into this game sitting just four points above the relegation playoff spot. Hitting 39 points will have them safe of the drop, thus they still need some eight points in the remaining four matches. They did their ambitions a great favor with a 1-0 win over Bochum last time out. Jonas Wind scored the all-important goal, serving the team’s second win in 15 matches. That win also marked Wolfsburg’s bounce-back after two straight defeats to Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach. It also meant they have now failed to score in just one of their last five matches. There’s little to smile about, however, when it comes to the visitors’ defending. They have two clean sheets only in the last 15 matches and they failed to score in just three of the 15 matches. Here Wolfsburg will be keen to end their losing run against Freiburg that got to two straight after a 1-0 defeat in December. In the last five meetings between these two sides, Wolfsburg have suffered four defeats.
