Freiburg’s home initiative should keep the contest lively, while Wolfsburg’s attacking threat offers a credible reply. With both sides capable of creating chances and defensive resistance vulnerable, goals appear likely to push this cup tie beyond a cautious stalemate.
Freiburg’s 1.26 first-half xG points to early pressure and a strong chance of taking the lead before the break. Wolfsburg’s defence is 16% weaker than average, offering scope for Freiburg to extend their advantage; with both sides combining for 3.24 pre-match xG, a four-goal game looks a logical outcome.
