At the Volkswagen Arena on 20 December 2025, VfL Wolfsburg host SC Freiburg in the final Bundesliga fixture of the year, with both sides aiming to close 2025 on a stable note rather than chasing spectacle.
Prediction: Asian Handicap – Wolfsburg +0.5
This matchup points toward a cautious and balanced contest where avoiding defeat is more realistic than forcing a statement win. Wolfsburg’s recent improvement and Freiburg’s away-day limitations suggest the hosts are well placed to secure at least a point.
Wolfsburg Gaining Stability Late in the Year
Wolfsburg have shown signs of recovery in recent weeks, producing stronger performances that have helped steady their Bundesliga position. Two consecutive victories have boosted confidence, even if overall consistency remains elusive. At home, Wolfsburg tend to approach matches with greater control, focusing on structure and reducing risks rather than overwhelming opponents. After conceding too regularly earlier in the season, defensive consolidation appears to be a priority as they look to end the year on a more solid footing.
Freiburg Less Convincing on the Road
Freiburg continue to be a reliable and difficult opponent at home, but their away form has been noticeably less convincing. On their travels, they have struggled to impose tempo and have often settled for cautious performances, including several low-scoring or goalless draws this season. That pragmatic approach keeps them competitive but limits their chances of forcing results away from familiar surroundings.
