VfL Wolfsburg are winless in six matches, although they did at least collect a point at Mainz last weekend. SC Freiburg on the other hand have got back on track following a five-game winless run and regained confidence with two victories in a row. Nine points separate the two sides going into Saturday’s meeting, with the visitors sitting in fifth place in the table after the 3-2 win over Hoffenheim and VfL currently 12th. The Wolves’ home record does not make for good reading, either: after four consecutive draws at the Volkswagen Arena, the Green-and-Whites have lost their last two home games – 1-0 against Heidenheim and 3-2 to RB Leipzig.
Facts and figures on the game
Accurate from distance: Both teams netted with long-range shots for the ninth time in this Bundesliga season on the last matchday – only Bayern Munich (13) have done so more often.
Goalscorers struggling: VfL’s highest scorer Mohammed Amoura has found the net just twice in his last 11 Bundesliga appearances, both of them from the penalty spot. In second place for the club is Jonas Wind, but he is without a goal in 11, and third-best Tiago Tomas is goalless in eight.
Dangerous from corners: No other club in the German top flight has scored as many goals from corners as the Green-and-Whites this season (nine). In second place are Freiburg, who have notched seven from corners.
Doan flying: Freiburg winger Ritsu Doan is enjoying a personal best season, with nine goals and seven assists.
Long wait for a home win: The Wolves are winless in six games at home (D4, L2), going back to the 5-1 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach on 14 January.
Century beckons: Freiburg have celebrated 99 away wins in their Bundesliga history, seven of them at Wolfsburg (more than at any other club).
SCF strong on the road: The visitors are unbeaten in five Bundesliga outings away from home (W3, D2) – the club record for one campaign stands at six (2000/01 and 2012/13).
