>SC Freiburg vs VfL Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips – 28/10/2026
A place in the DFB Pokal round of 16 is up for grabs when SC Freiburg welcome VfL Wolfsburg to the Europa-Park Stadion on Wednesday 28th October. This second-round tie carries a genuine cup-magic storyline: Freiburg, established Bundesliga operators, face a Wolfsburg side adjusting to life in the 2. Bundesliga following last season's relegation. The Wolves, though, have adapted quickly, collecting eight points from their opening four league fixtures. For Freiburg, a first defeat of the campaign at Leverkusen ten days prior adds a sliver of vulnerability to their otherwise impressive form.
Match Analysis
SC Freiburg enter this DFB Pokal second-round tie as clear home favourites at 1.40, backed by a dominant H2H record and a clinical 5-1 cup dismantling of Fortuna Düsseldorf in Round 1.
- 3 wins in the last 4 H2H meetings, including a 4-3 away victory in December 2025.
- 5-1 demolition of Fortuna Düsseldorf in Round 1 signals sharp cup readiness and clinical finishing.
- Home advantage at the Europa-Park Stadion adds significant weight; Freiburg are a Bundesliga-level opponent.
- Wolfsburg missing Christian Eriksen and multiple key attackers, severely limiting their creative threat.
VfL Wolfsburg arrive at 6.00 as considerable outsiders, a relegated side competing against top-flight opposition after barely surviving a penalty shootout against third-tier VSG Altglienicke in Round 1.
- Wolfsburg needed penalties to beat third-tier VSG Altglienicke (6-5), a stark cup quality concern.
- Christian Eriksen sidelined, removing their primary creative engine against a Bundesliga defence.
- Competing as a 2. Bundesliga side against a Bundesliga opponent with superior squad depth and experience.
Key point: With both squads heavily depleted and Wolfsburg's attacking limitations, the double chance covering Freiburg via 1.40 offers the clearest value in this tie.

Our Verdict
Freiburg's home pedigree and recent head-to-head dominance make them the standout selection here. Three wins from the last four meetings, including high-scoring victories, underline their superiority over Wolfsburg, and the home price at 1.40 reflects that. Wolfsburg's strong 2. Bundesliga form adds intrigue, yet the step up in class should prove telling. We back SC Freiburg to win at 1.40, with over 2.5 goals at 1.36 offering additional value given the attacking nature of recent encounters between these two sides.
